Developing Your Online Course - Carolina Online Teacher Program
This course is required for completion of the Carolina Online Teacher Program.
Begins April 28
In Developing Your Online Course, you will put into practice the design and development strategies you learned throughout the COLT program.
You will begin by first creating a framework for developing an entire online course. Secondly, you will go through the process of building one complete learning module, with specific focus on the process of producing the content, learning activities, and assessments of activities for one unit of the online course you are creating.
By the end of this five-week course, you should have the basic outline and tools to fully develop an online course and the materials ready to use in an actual instructional setting for one unit or week of a course.
Participants will be expected to fully participate in discussions, individual assignments, field tests, and peer reviews.
