Abstract
Academicians are designers. One of the essential activities in the academic profession is the design of curriculum and learning experiences to meet the changes and challenges of today's world. Like any other designer, the designer in education also needs to be mindful of their clients—the effectiveness in the curriculum, instruction methodology, and the achievement of the desired result. The program provides a framework to identify teaching and learning priorities. The other aspect that needs to be considered is the needs of students when designing the learning experiences.
The backward design is a methodological approach that focuses on the purpose, outcomes of the course, and what one wants to achieve from the curriculum development. The course design is structured based on the assessments linked to students' learning to meet the course goals and objectives. There are three stages in the backward design process – (1) Identifying desired results, (2) Determining acceptable evidence, and (3) Planning learning experiences and instruction. In this paper, the authors will introduce how backward design is used to create a course named "Contemporary issues in Quality Management and Analytics."
