MSU Denver Course Design Xchange (CoDeX): Shifting Culture with Tokenomics

Audience Level: 
All
Institutional Level: 
Higher Ed
Abstract: 

Changing culture isn't easy, but changing one within higher-ed can seem impossible. Join leaders from MSU Denver as we share our award-winning, adaptive approach to managing course design. This QM-informed, tokenomics-inspired framework has changed our culture, and it can change yours too.

Extended Abstract: 

You may have heard about blockchain-based tokenomics, but what about tokenizing time (something we all struggle to find enough of in higher-ed)? Want to learn more? Ready to truly shift a paradigm instead of just blogging about it? At MSU Denver we are excited about the future of education, but we also know that actualizing the future we envision will only come from courageous and disruptive change. In this session, we will explore the Agile Instructional Design Network (AIDNet), an organizational framework, and the Course Design Exchange (CoDeX), an innovative, QM-informed, tokenomics-inspired approach to instructional design and project management which ensures quality, equity, accountability, and continuous improvement.

The CoDeX acts as an inter-institution, micro-market-economy allowing departments and faculty to “purchase” unique services or service packages. By economizing the instructional design process, through monetizing design time, we look to create greater institutional equity and consistency. Learn basic techniques and strategies for adapting similar approaches within your institution, and become part of a growing community of professionals looking to adopt entrepreneurial models/thinking, and in doing so, change the culture of higher education.
