Effective curricula at Concordia are rigorous, relevant, coherent, current, experiential, explicit, and well-communicated to students.  They are also aligned with the mission, university learning outcomes, and program learning outcomes.  Effective academic programs result in healthy enrollment, retention, and completion numbers, demonstrate learning as expected by the faculty, and use continuous improvement.  At this session, we will present tools for planning, implementing, and improving such curricula.  The audience for this program includes faculty, department chairs/program directors, and deans.

During this session, participants will learn best practices for sharing large files in their course such as videos and voiceover PowerPoints. We will also explain how using the course Content Collection can save additional course space and save you time when documents need updating or are shared in multiple locations within a course.
