This week we turn to the foundations: how do people learn, and how do we design courses that support that learning? We’ll explore Bloom’s Taxonomy, backward design principles, and models for integrating AI into course structures. You’ll also begin identifying the course you’ll design (or redesign) throughout the semester.
