Instructional Materials: Take Action

Do Your Instructional Materials Accomplish What You Wish?

Consider your very first teaching experience. For many of us, we were handed a textbook and told to develop a syllabus. As a result, the organization of the textbook drove our course design, but now we know better. We should carefully consider what we want to accomplish in our course and select instructional materials to meet those goals. #Alignment
