Applications are now open for our annual Course Design Institute! The Institute is an in-person, intensive course design program for faculty interested in designing or redesigning a course.
What to expect: The institute will run a full 5 days (with working time and lunch provided) and require the completion of homework between each session. You will have the opportunity to work together with colleagues from across the University.
Benefits of participating: The institute is designed to get you to a final (or near final) syllabus by the end of the week. In addition, participants who successfully complete all Institute requirements will receive a $1,500 stipend. Plus, we provide breakfast, lunch, snacks, coffee, and tea to keep you fueled and focused all week long!
When & where will the Institute be held? This year's Institute is scheduled for the week of May 11-15 (Monday - Friday) at the Reynolda campus. The specific location will be announced closer to the date.
Applications are due by Sunday, April 19. A lottery will be held on Monday, April 20, to select 30 participants from the pool of complete applications. Please note that we will prioritize applicants who have not participated in a course design institute within the last 3 years, but those who have are still encouraged to apply. Note: Please apply only if you can commit to attending all five (5) days in person.
Applicants will be notified of their status by Monday, April 27. Those not selected may choose to join a waiting list in case a spot becomes available.
