Ten Best Practices
“Traditional courses have long focused on
tools and techniques for the presentation of
content. Traditional concerns from faculty
focused on covering the material, getting
through the book and meeting expectations . .

Ten Best Practices
“A major drawback with designing for content
as a priority is that it focuses attention on
what the faculty member is doing, thinking and
talking about and not on the interaction and
engagement of students with the core
concepts and skills of a course. The new focus
on learners encourages a focus on learners as
a priority.”
