UbD and Backwards Design #instructionaldesign #podcast #elearning #edtech

In 1998, educators Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe published the book Understanding by Design (UbD) and within it the Backwards Design (BD) model. Since then, they have revolutionized the way school systems, particularly teachers, approach curriculum planning. The model consists of three stages known as: Identifying desired results, determining acceptable evidence, and plan learning experiences and instruction. In recent years, many corporate learning professionals have advocated for the use of Backwards Design inspired by the famous Stephen R. Covey quote "Begin with the end in mind". This episode focuses on the documented evidence for the use of this model, its value and purpose for workplace learning.
