Backward Design for Instruction

07 Apr 2010 | Notes | Contributor(s): Krishna P. C. Madhavan, Sean Brophy

Backward design is an instructional design process that focuses on what specific learning objectives need to be accomplished and how learning will be assessed appropriately before the instructional materials are designed. This design process is the complete opposite of what instructors typically do …

Thinking about Learning Objectives

07 Apr 2010 | Notes | Contributor(s): Krishna P. C. Madhavan

The first and most significant step in the backward design process is the identification of clear learning objectives that will eventually be assessed. Using New Bloom's Taxonomy as the theoretical basis, we highlight how learning objectives can be written such that they focus on cognitive and …
