Current approaches to curricular change often move slowly or are siloed to efforts in individual courses. Curricular prototyping instead involves multiple cycles of low-stakes interventions to ask and answer questions about change drivers and barriers, student and faculty needs, and instructional approaches.
These prototypes don't need to be a reduced-scope or less-polished version of a class activity. Consistent with the engineering design process, many different activities can be used to ask and answer questions to address curricular design goals and challenges. This page is a library of such activities, built in collaboration with our Faculty Community of Practice groups.
