https://padlet.com/yg2854/Job_Aid_Topics This survey aims to collect input from the team on potential topics for job aids related to course design. The overall goal for job aids is to provide IDs with resources to support and empower our faculty by providing them with clear guidance on tasks or pedagogical concepts faculty often struggle with during course development projects. Ultimately, the job aids can improve course quality and work efficiency. We'd like to hear your thoughts on the specific challenges that job aids could effectively address during the course design process. There are some potential topics with specific explanations from last year, and you'll also find more ideas from the team. If you like a particular topic, you can click the heart icon to vote for it. The top three topics will be selected based on the number of votes received. We encourage you to propose at least one original topic. To help the team better understand the topic, you may want to specifically explain what faculty struggle with when completing a given task. en-us 2022-02-25 16:55:21 UTC 2025-01-30 18:31:26 UTC hello@padlet.com yg2854 https://padlet.com/yg2854/Job_Aid_Topics/wish/3289376621 Help faculty write clear, measurable, and aligned Course and Module learning objectives.
