In this episode, Trinity's The Collaborative hosts Dr. Katherine Troyer (Assistant Director) and Dr. Lauren Malone (Academic Technologist) use the formula of the "home renovation show" to explore the process of (re)designing a course.
We walk you through 10 elements that appear in many of these HGTV home improvement-type shows and explore how these can relate directly to renovating your course. From taking the house down the studs to finding asbestos in the walls, we've got you covered.
We suggest listening to this episode to prepare you for our in-person workshop.

In this episode, Trinity's The Collaborative hosts Dr. Katherine Troyer (Assistant Director) and Dr. Lauren Malone (Academic Technologist) talk about how the metaphor of a home renovation works really nicely for thinking about how to turn a course into your dream course.
We talk about courses we have "renovated" and why decided to make changes, explain how HGTV home improvement courses offer the perfect blueprint for redesigning/rebuilding your courses, and give some recommendations for the HGTV newbie on where to begin watching.
Listen to this episode to get inspired and ready to RENOVATE THAT COURSE! Then in our next episode will take you through all the important steps...whether you are working on a small change or tackling a complete overhaul. 

In this episode, Trinity's The Collaborative hosts Dr. Katherine Troyer (Assistant Director) and Dr. Lauren Malone (Academic Technologist) argue that depending on what metaphor you use to understand your syllabus can affect everything from how you treat the document, to what you include (or don't include), to how students engage with the syllabus.
We provide several metaphors--such as a contract, a roadmap, game instructions, and a YouTube walkthrough--that you can adopt when thinking about your syllabus; we also offer some more problematic metaphors to avoid (like the Ten Commandments or a cheat sheet to an A). We then explore how, depending on your chosen metaphor, both your syllabus content and form will evolve. And finally, we explore the importance of accessibility and how digitizing your syllabus can lead to transformative results.
This episode is perfect for anyone hoping to reframe how they think about the syllabus as they work to create a document that is truly meaningful, accessible, and one students will actually read!
