Backward design is an instructional design strategy for developing courses. With backward design, you start by creating your objectives. Next, you create your assessments. Finally, you develop your instructional content. The result is a tighter course that focuses on exactly what you want your learners to know.
In this episode, I am going to breakdown the elements and process for implementing backward design. During the podcast, I will also touch on developing objectives and Bloom’s revised taxonomy for learning.
