Educational Innovation

The campus-wide Educational Innovation initiative seeks to develop new approaches to curriculum and research, and to set the university on the path to greater self-sufficiency.

Continuing Studies has developed a Toolkit designed to provide an overview of the program planning process for creating new, accessible, post-baccalaureate programs such as Professional Master’s and Capstone Certificates.  The tool kit includes policies, processes, worksheets and examples to help you conceptualize and develop your programs for nontraditional audiences.

Hard copies of this Toolkit are also available.  Please contact Katy Duren (kduren@dcs.wisc.edu) or call 608-263-5114 for a copy.
