Take-Home

The most important lessons in this workshop are:

1. Developing an on-line course requires a team. The role of the faculty member is primarily as content provider.
2. Plan to the last detail before going online.
3. No spurious content: Think objective, assessment and learning material.
4. Ensure quality: Use Standards and Markers of Excellence for online courses.
5. When delivering, manage student expectations from the beginning.

Do not underestimate the amount of work required to develop an on-line course.

Read the pdf files for each module.

Fill-in the worksheets.

1. "Design and Development" (Module 1).
2. "Timeline Worksheet" (Module 2).
3. "Goals and Objectives" (Module 3).

Discuss your worksheets with an instructional designer versed in on-line instruction.

Enjoy!
