Extended Abstract: 

 Learn about a course design, or redesign, program that brings your faculty up to speed to teach in any modality. The Responsive Course (Re)Design workshop consists of four units - Design, Activities, Inclusion, and Communication - to break down the development process into manageable chunks while providing faculty with best practices in teaching online and ways to implement evidence-based teaching strategies into all their courses.

Emphasis is placed on alignment with learning objectives, evidence-based teaching strategies (retrieval practice, interleaving, spaced repetition, metacognition), Universal Design for Learning, and building community through instructor presence and student-to-student interaction.

Participants will gain access to a support website with documents they can use with their faculty to ensure courses are student-ready when the modality suddenly changes.
