Expectations
My Goals for You in this Course 
To experience the 
integrated nature 
of learning 
experience design 
To think of 
assessment as 
something that 
happens during a 
course to promote 
learning 
To design with the 
end in mind: 
What do you want 
your learners to 
be able to do? 
(backward design) 
To remember that 
students learn 
from what they 
do, not what you 
do

What We Know About How Adult 
Learning Works 
Seven Research-based Principles for 
Teaching
Students’ prior knowledge can help or 
hinder learning
How students organize knowledge influences 
how they learn and apply what they know
Students’ motivation generates, directs, and 
sustains what they do to learn
To develop mastery, students must acquire 
component skills, practice integrating them, and 
know when to apply what they have learned
Goal-directed practice, coupled with targeted 
feedback, are critical to learning
Students’ level of development interacts with 
the social, emotional, and intellectual climate 
of the course to impact learning
To become self-directed learners, students must learn 
to assess the demands of the task, evaluate their own 
knowledge and skills, plan their approach, monitor their 
progress, and adjust their strategies as needed.
Four Components of Effective Teaching 
Discipline or specialty-specific 
Knowledge of 
Subject Matter 
Interpersonal and social skills 
Teacher-Learner 
Interactions 
Management 
of the Learning 
Environment 
Design of 
Instruction 
Beginning of Instruction 
Facilitation 
skills, setting a good 
learning 
climate 
Skill development
Why a TiME course in Curriculum 
Design? 
Introduce 
the basic 
concepts in 
designing a 
learning 
experience 
Examine 
how to write 
goals and 
learning 
objectives 
Illustrate 
alignment 
between 
components 
Consider 
what makes 
learning 
experiences 
significant 
Provide 
exemplars 
of 
instructional 
strategies & 
assessment 
strategies
Good learning experience design 
requires a strong foundation
What do you want your 
learners to be able to DO at 
the end of your lesson, 
rotation, or course?
Learning Goals 
and Objectives 
Instructional 
Strategies 
Feedback and 
Assessment 
Situational Factors
In integrated course design, these three 
elements are in perfect harmony
What do you want your 
learners to be able to DO at 
the end of your lesson, 
rotation, or course?
Goals Are written as broad 
statements of 
purpose or intent 
Answer the 
question, “What do I 
want my learners to 
be able to do at the 
end of my course?” 
Serve as criteria for 
selection of 
curricular 
components (such 
as assessments & 
learning strategies) 
Clearly communicate 
what the learning 
experience 
addresses 
Can be considered 
“broad” educational 
objectives 
Serve as 
benchmarks against 
which courses can 
be evaluated
Goals Differ from Learning 
Objectives 
Goals 
Learning 
Objectives 
 Can use verbs such as 
“understand,” “know” 
or “appreciate” 
 Are often written, 
 The purpose of this 
course is …. 
 Use strong, action-oriented 
verbs in one of 
three domains of 
learning: 
 Cognitive 
 Psychomotor 
 Affective 
 Can also be related to 
process or desired 
outcomes of the learning 
experience
Traditionally, learning objectives 
address three things: 
 The desired behavior 
 The conditions under which the behavior is 
performed 
 The performance standards that are to be met
A well-written objective answers 
the question: 
Who will do how much (or 
how well) of what by when? 
Hint: When writing your 
objective, begin with 
“By when”
Examples of Learning Objectives 
By the end of the M2 
Hematology course, the student 
will be able to describe 
accurately the production, 
structure, intracellular contents, 
and function of the red blood 
cell. 
By the end of the OBGYN 
suture workshop, each third 
year medical student be able 
to correctly demonstrate a 
one-handed knot-tie.
Assignments 
Needs Assessment (25 points) 
Goals and Objectives (15 points) 
Instructional Strategies (25 points) 
Assessment Strategies (25%) 
Engagement / Participation (10%) 
27
Goals and Objectives 
Focus on a 
specific group 
of Learners to 
develop 
3-5 overall 
“course” 
goals 
Develop 
learning 
objectives for 
what you 
want your 
learners to be 
able to do 
28
Develop a Needs Assessment 
Gather data about the learners for whom you will 
be designing your educational plan 
Gather data about the needs of your field of study 
Examine the educational priorities for the VCU 
SOM 
Examine the accrediting requirements for the 
LCME, ACGME, and the milestones project 
Your own research into future trends and needs for 
medical education in your discipline
Instructional Strategies 
Paired presentations 
Choices include those listed 
on page 5 in the syllabus 
10-15 minute presentations, 
3-5 slides 
Share current “best 
practices” and research in 
30 medical education
Assessments 
Formative and Summative, “best 
practices” 
Assignment is for a pair to research and 
present an assessment strategy to the class 
based on chapters in your text 
30-40 minutes, 5-7 slides
