Full course description

Description

Developing an online course takes thought and planning, and a little technical know-how, too! Your students are more likely to be successful if you build your online course with their success in mind. Things like designing so that navigating through the course is intuitive, or building a learning environment that allows students to learn from you and from each other, requires a strong plan, knowledge of how Canvas works, and some feedback from peers. 

This class is designed to help you think through that design process and create a blueprint for an online course that you and your students will love. 

Outcomes

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • discuss the value of using the Course Design Rubric to design a quality online course,
  • use backward design principles to start a course plan;
  • plan online learning units with measurable outcomes;
  • determine "next steps" for building an online course.
