About ABC Online Course Design at TMU

ABC Online Course Design was developed by the Centre for Excellence in learning & Teaching at Toronto Meropolitan University and the Centre for Teaching and Learning at Western University.

The ABC workshop was originally developed by Clive Young and Nataša Perović at the University College London as a rapid, streamlined process for designing and revising courses based on sound educational principles. In 2016, Young and Perović assisted Toronto Meropolitan Universit in adapting their openly licensed materials to build a workshop that is tailored to the Canadian teaching environment, with a storyboard that reflects our semesters, and cards that are customized to reflect the tools available to our instructors.
