Backward Design Showcase

The Center For Teaching & Learning

Cal Poly Humboldt

Welcome to the Backward Design Showcase!  

This showcase includes final deliverables from faculty at Cal Poly Humboldt who participated in the Course Design Academy on Backward Design that was offered by the Center for Teaching & Learning with funding from the CSU Quality Learning & Teaching Grant.   The projects you are about to explore below highlight key takeaways from this professional development experience.  

The Course Design Academy focused on re-imagining faculty's teaching and their students’ learning through backward design. Selected participants across all teaching modalities (face-to-face, online, blended) and disciplines engaged in a fully online, asynchronous learning experience over four weeks.  

We hope you enjoy!
