Curriculum and instructional design is a dynamic process. Only after instructors are able to implement their courses, does it become clear what innovative strategies are working and which are not. Evaluating a course involves considering “what's working†at different levels: the student, the instructor, the curriculum, and the overall program. In this session I will discuss some considerations for capstone instructors as they construct their student learning objectives, gather instructional materials, design learning activities for students, and determine how best to assess student learning outcomes. Moreover, I will describe how instructors can gather evidence during and after a course to determine whether it met their intended goals (i.e., was it effective or not).
