Latest Dispatch

Monday, June 22, 2026

It’s the last week of our “Formats & Modalities” module of Design Forward! What should you do this week? Well, there are eleven readings on our Resources page. If you haven’t done at least four of them, dig in this week! Many of them are super short. There are also five Activities that you can find online or in your workbook, so try to do one or two of them that strike your fancy. I also encourage you to comment on your colleagues’ work (see what’s recent by consulting our Home page) and asking/answering Questions. I wish you all a wonderful final week! Once we wrap up, Martha will be back in touch about next steps. For now, just focus on finishing strong and thinking a bit about one or two takeaways you will bring with you into your future teaching, in f2f and online formats and everything in between!

“Design Bites” are a special kind of portfolio post. They’re an opportunity for us to share practical design ideas that we’ve tried or are planning to try. As DF participants add more Bites, we will assemble a library of these that will be searchable by type, tags, and modules.

You must be a registered participant in Design Forward to complete this activity.
