Description
Faculty are experts in their subject area, but may not be aware of factors that contribute to a well-designed online environment for their courses. In order to allow faculty to focus on the content, the University of Louisville developed a standardized course template to guide faculty in the structure and lay-out, as well as pre-populating the course with valuable content, such as university resources and policies. The template was specifically designed to follow Instructional Design Best Practices and Quality Matters principles, including “Keep It Simple” and “Ease of Use.” This presentation will include a discussion of the Quality Matters process and how the template’s layout and content contribute to a well-designed online environment.
