Description¶
The course applied Riggs and Linder's (2016) three-element Architecture of Engagement: syllabus communication and engagement policy, course orientation, and modular course structure. As the authors write, "Following Riggs and Linder's (2016) Architecture of Engagement, the course was structured into five weekly modules to support sustained, manageable engagement over time", with each module requiring about four hours of study time. Week 1 handles expectations and orientation; Weeks 2–5 carry the themed pedagogical content.
Design Implications¶

Requirements¶
- an initial orientation to set expectations for engagement
- communication policies and course schedule shared in Week 1
Constraints¶
- each module required approximately four hours of study time per week, reflecting workload considerations for teaching professionals
Target Learners¶
- practicing and prospective mathematics mentors in online asynchronous PD
Learning Goals¶
- sustained engagement with subject-specific PD content
