Event Overview
In this highly interactive session, participants will use a reverse brainstorming technique to playfully delve into what makes a great course by examining its opposites. Using a constructivist framework, participants will use theories of learning, design, and motivation to reflect on their own educational experiences—the good, the bad, and the ugly. In small groups, we will collectively develop best practices for course design and delivery that meet students where they are and inspire meaningful learning.

Intended audiences include professors, instructional designers, faculty developers, academic affairs leaders, and anyone who supports dynamic and impactful curriculum and instruction at universities.

Session Outcomes:
Participants will:
 - Discuss how poor learning design impacts students.
 - Recommend best practices for planning and facilitating educational experiences in alignment with theories of learning, design, and motivation.
