Taking a Community Approach to Curriculum Change

This week we would like to share an article entitled, “Taking a Community Approach to Curriculum Change”. This article addresses the need for institutions to increase student engagement by reforming their courses. One challenge is to engage the community beyond the instructors. The authors examined the institutional approach of creating a volunteer community of faculty members, postdocs, graduate students, and undergraduate students to design new curricula. The findings indicate that the approach was embraced by the community and produced courses with a satisfying and shared vision for learning.
