Thursday, November 02 | 8:00AM–8:30AM ET | Meeting Room 103A, 100 Level
Session Type: Breakout Session
Delivery Format: Interactive Presentation
The one-on-one online course design process was reaching the end of its useful life, limiting scale and providing an isolating and sometimes frustrating experience for faculty. A yearlong process to redesign a new, cohort-based approach has yielded compelling results in scale, experience, and productivity.

Outcomes: Identify at least three limitations inherent to one-on-one, instructional designer-as-project-manager online course design models * Learn about 3 advantages to cohort online course development * Recognize the value in including technology and nontechnology resource groups in online course development
