Instructional Design Artifacts
Course Description
Jay McTighe and Grant Wiggins established the Universal By Design (UBD) templates. UBD suggested by its authors is a process and structure created to guide curriculum, assessment, and instruction. Its two key ideas are contained in the title:
1) focus on teaching and assessing for understanding and learning transfer, and
2) design a curriculum
“ backward” from those ends (2005).
The course mirrors this ideology. The course reflects a backward representation regarding learning and teaching. UBD is utilized in collaboration with group members designing an interdisciplinary unit for classroom teaching. The designs were evaluated through peer review assessments.
