Topics covered will include:

• Evaluation, design, or redesign of online courses.

• Authentic assessment that aligns appropriately with course learning objectives.

• Establishing an effective online instructional persona that fosters a sense of collaborative community among learners.

• Developing strategies for managing time, communication, and instructor/student roles.

• Academic integrity, course material accessibility, copyright considerations.

• The application of research-based principles of instruction to create learner-centered, interactive, online learning activities that promote student success.

The course will run twice, from May 4-15, and May 18-29.
