IDEAS Course Design Cycle

This guide describes an IDEAS course design cycle: moving from background reading through to course design, delivery, and assessment, we intend to provide faculty and departments with resources to further our campus engagement in equity-minded course desi

What is an assignment charette?

Building on the concept of the charrette, a meeting in which a group attempts to resolve conflicts and map solutions, the National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment "has been fostering the use and development of intentionally designed assignments through a faculty-driven, collaborative peer review process – the assignment charrette."

NILOA's Assignment Charrette Toolkit  "provides tools, materials, and resources to adapt to local and regional context, along with institutional examples and relevant resources."
