Webinar – 7 Things to Consider Before Developing an Online Course

This webinar gives you strategies to maximize your planning and design time frame? all leading to a more efficient course (i.e. less stress for you when you’re teaching) and a better experience for your students. Join us on January 31 for 7 Things to Consider Before Developing an Online Course, a Magna Online Seminar led by Brian Udermann, PhD. You’ll learn how to allow for adequate time to develop a course, explore avenues to find course content, prioritize the content students need to learn, create an instructor participation plan, determine what course assessments will be used, estimate the overall workload associated with developing and teaching an online course, and use existing faculty support services available to help with course design and planning.

Learning Goals

• Learn step-by-step planning and preparation actions that will positively impact identifying and developing course content, activities, and assessments.
