The CSU Transforming Course Design (TCD) Project is a community of members – CSU faculty, staff, administrators – that share a common interest in enhancing the quality of teaching and learning through the use of Transforming Course Design .
The mission of this site is to create a "teaching commons," a collaborative space that facilitates and supports the use of TCD in the CSU with opportunities to increase knowledge, productivity, and professional effectiveness through sharing of pedagogical best practices, reports on current campus progress, ongoing research and by building an online community.
TheTCD initiative supports campuses in their efforts to improve student learning outcomes and reduce instructional costs by supporting analysis of teaching and learning challenges and faculty-designed innovations in pedagogy.
Three phases help to guide the implementation of this strategy:
