Course (re)Design & (re)Development is a dynamic process that allows faculty to revisit and refine course structures, ensuring they meet the evolving needs of students and align with institutional priorities. This process involves using data and feedback to inform decision-making, drawing on insights from learner profiles, student success, and course evaluations. By engaging with data-driven approaches, faculty can better understand the learning needs of their students and create engaging, inclusive, and effective courses. The goal is to ensure courses are continually adapted to foster student achievement and contribute to the academic success of all learners. 

The design and development phase includes defining clear course learning outcomes, mapping out the course structure, and creating detailed course outlines that serve as the foundation for effective teaching. Equally important is the implementation and evaluation phase, where faculty ensure courses comply with institutional policies, engage with the Education Council to maintain alignment with educational standards, and embrace continuous improvement practices.
