Optimize Learning offers online workshops and courses on a variety of topics related to academic teaching and learning to faculty, staff and administrators in both higher and secondary education. Its core course, "Designing Courses for Significant Learning Integrated Course Design," (authored by Dee Fink, formerly delivered by Dee Fink & Associates and now delivered by Optimize) focuses on a model of course design developed by L. Dee Fink, called "Integrated Course Design," a special way of designing courses that leads to greater student engagement and improved student learning in higher education. The conceptual framework for this and several additional courses is based on Fink’s book, “Creating Significant Learning Experiences.” (Jossey-Bass, Updated Edition, 2013)
