Online Course
Design
This section is intended to provide an overview of online
course design and development. For some, when they think about taking their
course, or part of their course online, they may think that they are simply
converting their existing course to a new delivery method. It is true that
course content, goals, and objectives of the course should be very similar.
However, it may not be that simple.
There seem to be two primary questions that need to be
addresssed as one consider online learning:
- How will the content be delivered so that it contains
effective learning expereinces for the student? and
- How will interactions be managed between the student
and the subject matter, the student and the instructor, and between students?
The area of course management is a key difference between the online course and
a classroom-based course.
This tutorial will address those questions.
