Instructional Design: Creating Materials for an Online Course

Online -- August 29 - October 3, 2008

What is the difference between preparing to teach an online course and 
preparing to teach in a face-to-face setting? A lot! Many who are new to 
online teaching are surprised at how much planning and writing is 
involved. This workshop orients participants to the ins and outs of 
online course design and authorship. This workshop is non-technical and 
software agnostic; we will not focus on the technical process of posting 
materials within a learning management system. Instead, we will 
concentrate on instructional design and materials preparation. By the 
end of the workshop, you will have developed (1) a sample syllabus and 
other orienting materials; (2) an online community-building warm-up 
activity; (3) the text for one online “session,” including an 
activity/assignment; and (4) a strategy for assessing student learning.
