EDUC 6753 - Planning and Program Development for Online and Distance Learning* (3 semester credits)

3 semester credits

Learning technologies continue to advance and diversify; therefore, a critical task in education is to ensure that such technologies are used in a manner that works for the institution and its students. Education professionals in this course are introduced to the process of planning and developing online and distance-learning programs. Education professionals investigate best practices in program structure and approach; steps in the planning process; requirements for accreditation and accountability; and emerging trends in integrating online technologies into a variety of learning environments. Through an integrative course project, they apply course concepts as they develop a project management toolkit that integrates specific steps and requirements associated with planning and developing an online program.
