What is a Pathway?
A pathway serves as your essential guide to teaching with technology at ASU, connecting you with key tools, strategies, and insights to enhance your digital teaching experience—from refining Canvas courses to ideas for engaging students effectively.
Introduction
Designing a course is a crucial process that forms the foundation for effective teaching and meaningful student learning. Course design goes beyond planning content; it involves aligning your objectives, assessments, and instructional strategies to create a cohesive and effective learning experience for all students. This guide offers a comprehensive yet streamlined approach to help you quickly get started. By following these steps, you’ll be prompted to reflect on and consider how you create a well-structured, engaging course that aligns with your learning objectives.
Note: If you’re working with an instructional designer at your college or through ASU Online, we recommend contacting them for specific resources and guidance. You can also schedule an appointment with a Learning Experience Designer to discuss any questions about your ASU course or available educational technologies. In addition, we offer workshops, a comprehensive asynchronous course, and resources to support our enterprise-wide tools. Ready to speak with one of our designers? Schedule a consultation.
