Welcome to
Online Course Design I & II
Spring/Summer 2005
Online Course Design I are now available as
self-paced courses. If you would like instructor assistance, please send
email to elizabeth.nist@anokaramsey.edu.
Tutorials are open to ARCC faculty and staff and to IT workshop
participants.
Please phone or email in advance to make a reservation
for a tutorial session.
What is an on-line workshop
like?
This is your opportunity as a teacher to experience what it is like to
take a class on line. These workshops have no fixed dates. You may
begin anytime and work at your own pace.
The content of each workshop is presented in modules which include specific
outcomes, a main assignment, steps to complete the assignment, and assessment
of your work. The workshop itself models the course design it is
teaching. To complete the workshop by the end date, you should plan
to spend about an hour a day on task. You choose the time of day
that is best for you to work.

Are these workshops for you?
Are you thinking about creating a Web site to support one of the college
classes you teach? Or are you adapting a traditional college course for
online presentation? Then these workshops will help you. While many of
the strategies practiced here can also be applied to short courses and
job training, our main focus in these workshops is to plan the syllabus
and create content for a full-term college transfer course.

What is covered in these workshops?
We begin with an Internet tour of what others are doing. We look at courses
published with FrontPage, Desire2Learn, and a Netscape editor. These give us a
variety of examples of the basic components of on-line courses: the course
plan, homepage, page templates with site navigation systems, the teacher's
syllabus, course content pages, interactive elements, assessment strategies,
and course management tools. We examine how an online course differs from
a traditional course so that we can adapt an existing syllabus for online
presentation. After revising a syllabus for publication online, participants
then prepare a sample lesson or course module addressing one or more of
the outcomes of the course.
Online Course Design I & II may be offered on-site in four
half-day sessions, or they may be completed as an interactive, online course,
each held over a three-week period. If you would like to schedule an on-site or
interactive online workshop, please contact
Elizabeth Nist.

What should workshop participants have to succeed
in these workshops?
To have an optimum workshop experience, you should begin with a specific
course you have already chosen to develop. You will also need a personal
computer with Internet access and one of the following operating
programs: a Netscape browser with a Web page editor OR Microsoft
FrontPage OR a comparable program that will allow you to create Web pages and
save them as html files. You do not have to know how to write html code,
but you should have experience with word processing, Internet navigation,
and e-mail.
