Welcome to our new Course Development web page, designed to support faculty in creating engaging, high-quality courses at our university. We’re excited to introduce our updated course development processes and resources, which have been carefully crafted to streamline course creation while maintaining academic excellence and student engagement.
On this website, you’ll find comprehensive information about our two primary course development models: the Guided Development Model and the Self-Directed Development Model. These models offer flexibility to suit different faculty needs and preferences, ranging from hands-on collaborative support to more independent development with on-demand assistance. You’ll also discover a wealth of resources including our Course Overview Form, Module Design Template, and step-by-step guides for each phase of the development process.
We’ve designed these tools and processes to empower you in creating courses that not only meet our university’s high standards but also provide an optimal learning experience for our students. Whether you’re developing a new course or revising an existing one, you’ll find valuable guidance on aligning course objectives, designing effective assessments, and incorporating interactive elements to boost student engagement. We encourage you to explore the site, utilize our templates, and reach out to our CTLE team for support as you embark on your course development journey.
