Designing effective courses requires a strong alignment between learning outcomes, teaching methods, and assessment strategies—an approach known as Constructive Alignment. In this practical seminar, you will learn how to apply this instructional design model effectively and explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can support the process.

You will discover how AI tools can assist in formulating learning objectives, selecting appropriate teaching methods, and designing aligned assessment formats. Through interactive exercises and case studies, you will apply the concepts directly to your own teaching practice.

Learning outcomes:
By the end of the seminar, participants will be able to
· explain the fundamental principles of Constructive Alignment and reflect on their significance in
· apply AI-supported tools to assist in course planning and implementation.
· develop a course concept based on Constructive Alignment and integrate AI-supported elements
