AE Live! Teacher Professional Development Events - AE Live 7.4 - Needs Assessment for Course and Curriculum Design

In this webinar, we will first examine the needs assessment process by reviewing several methods, techniques, and options for gathering data about student needs. We will then consider how to use that information for course design, examining some basic course development steps and choices. We'll also briefly explore how needs assessment principles for course design can translate to the larger task of curriculum development. Participants will gain a clear sense of design choices and decision points to consider and will receive tools and ideas to help them ensure that courses and curricula meet their students' needs.
