Step 1 – Course Planning and Design

The first step in the development process once your course has been funded for development and you have been hired as the course developer and subject matter expert is to meet your Instructional Design Team.

The First Meeting

You and your ID will plan an initial meeting which may include the full ID Team.  In this meeting you will discuss;

• The course in general (description, place in program, potential students) and about your usual teaching methods
• How the course might look in an online format
  • potential methods of content delivery and assessment
  • graphics and/or video support
  • copyright permissions for articles, videos, graphics, software if needed
• Create a collaborative development plan (timeline) with milestones
• Determine what course content and activities may already exist and how it may be used
• Consider equity, diversity, inclusion, accessibility, universal design for learning, copyright, best practices for different activities, assessments, modes of learning
• Discuss attending an optional Orientation to Online Learning (OOL) workshop when they are offered
