“I am a believer that building oneself as an educator goes beyond the academic environments. While reading Designing Effective Teaching and Significant Learning I could identify countless applicable connections with my leadership work as an engineering manager for a creative software company. This book comes at a pivotal moment in the evolution of learning: We have access to more information than ever, and technology is rapidly evolving. This means we need to be more strategic about what we learn and how transferable that is to the next task/job/industry. This book is an invitation to reflect on our methods as educators as well as a practical guide not only for faculty members but for industry leaders on how to successfully prepare individuals for a future where their contributions are rewarding and impactful.”
(Manuel Castellanos Raboso, Engineering Manager Adobe, Inc.)“This book combines an action-oriented guide to effective teaching with a reflective workshop on significant learning. The authors blend personal stories, practical techniques, critical questions, and deep wisdom in ways that will resonate with busy faculty. I particularly appreciate the reminder to pay close attention to the students in our classes because, in the end, their learning is what makes our teaching meaningful.”
(Peter Felten, Executive Director Center for Engaged Learning, Elon University)"Want to take your capabilities as a teacher from 'Good' to 'Great'? This book can help you do that. It focuses on just the right range of topics, and has a powerful blend of stories, examples of good course design, and substantive guidance."
(Dee Fink, former Founding Director Instructional Development Program, University of Oklahoma)"Well-organized and accessible, I appreciated how the book invites the reader to participate on the page in the enterprise of designing effective teaching and significant learning―two complementary aspects of effective instruction. Will serve as a welcome refresher for seasoned educational developers and faculty, and also as a friendly on-ramp for newcomers."
(Hoag Holmgren, Executive Director Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education)"Designing Effective Teaching and Significant Learning is a uniquely comprehensive resource for post-secondary instructors. Building on a tried and true course design process, the authors augment their step-by-step guide with examples and in-depth explorations of important topics. I expect that this volume will help guide faculty from the first course they teach through ongoing growth and development across their careers."
(Cassandra Horii, Founding Director Center for Teaching, Learning, and Outreach, California Institute of Technology)"Smartly anchored in Dee Fink’s seminal work, Creating Significant Learning Experiences, this course design book extends the framework into topics typically not included in this type of book―instructional software, LMS usage, cognitive science, course assessment rubrics, and program and institutional evaluation―in addition to the subjects you’d expect. It features plentiful examples, relatable cases, and, for each chapter, opening points-to-ponder and summary action checklists. It pays particular attention to the needs of community college faculty."
(Linda B. Nilson, Director Emerita Office of Teaching Effectiveness and Innovation, Clemson University)“Designing Effective Teaching and Significant Learning builds upon the work of Dee Fink by providing pragmatic advice to post-secondary faculty in the design of traditional, blended, and online courses. The book covers a broad range of topics, from basics in preparing or designing a course to more advanced concepts such as making courses accessible and assessing a program or institution. I found the chapter 'Communicating in Your Course' helpful in developing workshops for faculty on student engagement in online courses."
(Martin Springborg, Director of Teaching and Learning Inver Hills Community College and Dakota County Technical College)"This book is a great resource for Higher Education instructors willing to challenge their traditional strategies and practices... It promotes self-reflection on current teaching approaches, and helps faculty understand, through illustrative examples, how the adoption of integrative strategies leads to significant learning experiences. In parallel, the reader is guided smoothly through the major steps of integrated course design: from using the taxonomy for significant learning to assessing and reflecting on the teaching and learning procedure, passing by defining and aligning the course outcomes with the learning and assessment activities, communicating effectively, making the course accessible and integrating learning technologies. It is undeniably an inspirational and enlightening work... not to be missed!"
