A Basic Curriculum Design Framework

Many of the courses we teach to prepare students to succeed in a particular workplace have to be customized to meet the specific language and culture demands of that workplace.  As a result, workplace preparation teachers often become course designers out of necessity.  In this course we will take you through a simple curriculum design framework to use when approaching the design of a workplace or occupation-specific language course.  Following this framework will ensure that you have a course that meets the needs of the students, employers and other course stakeholders.  It will also ensure that you create an effective, high quality course in a minimal amount of time.
