Designing a course
to achieve these goals
Content needs to be chosen not only because “it’s
important to know” but because it offers opportunities to
develop activities that address the broader goals.
Content needs to be restricted so that there is sufficient
time for active learning (making mistakes, correcting them,
and reflecting on the implications).
Learning activities and environments must be developed
that encourage mental activity, perhaps through social
interaction.
You cannot assume students will “automatically” make
“natural” connections to goal items.  The connections must
be self-constructed, explicit, and frequent.
