Abstract

Educational Designers at Charles Sturt University have recently completed a professional development program in course design. An outcome of this professional development activity has been the development of online modules which cover various learning and teaching strategies and as a by-product; learning design templates. The online modules are designed to provide an overview of how to use evidence based learning and teaching strategies, with the aim of changing teaching practice to positively influence student learning. After developing these modules, it was recognised that they could be adapted into templates that teaching staff could use directly in their subjects. This paper will discuss the progress of this multi-faceted project that focuses on professional development of Educational Designers and academic staff, development of online modules and learning design templates.
