Universities and Colleges

We help universities and colleges in a variety of projects, from workshops, to rebuilding courses around what students produce. Drawing on Thom Markham's 30+ years pioneering project-based learning, we partner with faculty to redesign courses using a student portfolio approach where learners demonstrate mastery through curated, real-world work, as well as incorporate high quality, AI-critical thinking skills into their coursework.

  • Portfolio-based course redesign aligned to learning outcomes and accreditation standards
  • Faculty development for project-based and process-based teaching
  • AI integration for course design, student AI fluency through PBL, research with AI skillsets

Course Redesign Partnership

Every institution is different. We offer a flexible partnership that scales from a single department pilot to a campus-wide initiative. Same process, scope that fits your needs.

How It Works

We guide your faculty through a structured process to transform how courses are designed, taught, and assessed.

1. Needs Analysis

We assess your current curriculum, identify opportunities for portfolio-based redesign, and align goals with institutional priorities.

2. Faculty Workshops

Interactive sessions on project-based learning, Learning Mission design, and structuring courses around student portfolios.

3. Course Redesign

Faculty work with our team to rebuild courses so that students demonstrate learning through curated projects, capstone experiences, and reflective portfolios.

4. Portfolio Systems

We design student portfolio frameworks aligned to learning outcomes, accreditation requirements, and discipline-specific standards.

5. Ongoing Coaching

Continued support as faculty implement changes, including AI tool training, assessment calibration, and iterative course refinement.

Whether you're starting with one course or rethinking an entire program, we scale to fit. From a focused five-session faculty introduction to a comprehensive, multi-semester institutional partnership.

From $2,500 USD, scaled to scope.
