Design Forward is organized into nine distinct modules. Five of these are the “core” modules and the remaining are in a group called “flexible” modules.
Collectively, the core modules cover a set of standard topics about teaching: pedagogy, modalities, equity, tools, and instructional design. The flexible modules are each a unique DF experience to encourage deeper exploration or more focussed application of DF practices.
Other than this Orientation experience, none of the modules are required, and there is no prescribed order to them. We encourage participants to engage in modules that meet their needs at particular times.
In this video, we go into a deeper explanation of each of the modules.
