L. Dee Fink’s Guide to Course Design

Fink Alignment Diagram

This self directed guide for course design by L. Dee Fink is excerpted from his  his book “Creating Significant Learning Experiences,” which you can read online. The guide has a fair amount of background that makes a case for backwards design. Toward the back of the guide there are worksheets to help you plan your course in a way that keeps your learning goals, teaching and learning activities, and your assessment aligned.
