Overview

In this Module, we’ll explore resources that can help you get your online course off the ground. With so many educational and technical issues to consider, it’s natural to want a roadmap to follow. Here are a few questions to think about as you begin to navigate your journey…

  • When you teach in the classroom, how do you facilitate interaction between students? Do you have whole class discussions or do you break the class into small groups?
  • When you teach in the classroom, how do you deliver the content to the students? Do you use PowerPoint complete with audio and animation, black and white overheads, a chalkboard or video?
  • When you teach in the classroom, what sorts of interactive things do you use in the course? Do you have students move their desks around to setup the classroom the way they want it?

Keep thinking about these issues as you look at the steps for course development on the next page.
