In the rapidly evolving landscape of higher education, the need for efficient and effective online course design has never been more critical. Our poster session delves into a centralized online course design process, a collaborative and structured approach spanning three months, aimed at enhancing the quality and consistency of online courses. This process involves a strategic collaboration between an instructional designer, a subject matter expert (SME), and a program chair. The journey begins with a comprehensive roadmap outlining key milestones and deliverables, ensuring a clear and cohesive progression. Each stage of the process is meticulously designed to integrate the expertise of the instructional designer and the in-depth knowledge of the SME under the guidance and oversight of the program chair. The core of our method lies in the week-by-week content development where theoretical concepts are transformed into engaging and pedagogically sound online materials. This phase is crucial to aligning course objectives with learning outcomes, incorporating interactive elements, and ensuring accessibility and student engagement. Attendees of this session will gain insights into the step-by-step process, challenges encountered, and strategies for successful implementation. Join us to explore how this centralized online course design process can revolutionize your online education offerings, leading to enhanced learning experiences and academic success.
