Online Course Development Considerations

Developing an online course, is similiar to a building a website. It is not a linear process, as we are constantly examining , revising and tweaking our choices. As we gain more insight and information, we may return to a previous point for further consideration, before jumping forward and continuing where we previously left off. This process involves some of the best practices that have proven to be helpful, but we are also uncovering ideas that we discover along the way. An example is with the advent of Artificial Intelligence. Ai is forcing us to revisit certain aspects of our instructional and assessment processes. Depending on the discipline, we might have to focus more on learner experiences and ask students to articulate responses in a way that would be extremely difficult for a simple Artificial Intelligence chatbot response–based on specific examples covered in class, that require student’s to be actively engaged in the gathering and sharing of information. Lots of people are researching this and developing new ideas and methods. Look for emails and visit the CETLOE website for upcoming events.
