Consistency Is Key: Evaluating a Collaborative, Department-Wide Online Course Template

How should today's online courses be designed to provide maximum impact and foster optimal engagement for students and faculty? This session will explore research from the Pace University Master of Public Administration program that resulted in a collaboratively developed template that is serving a model for all. We will share our findings as well as practical steps that can be taken by others to achieve the same consistent results for successful online and blended course design.

Outcomes: Understand how and why to build a consistent course template * Analyze and apply the critical elements that need to be addressed when designing a template to drive broad-based improvements in faculty and student course work * Advocate for and facilitate better course design at your institution
