      planning is a paper and pencil level activity.

      Welcome to Course Planning

      In this course we will look at the importance of generating a high-level organized course plan (CP) of your future course.  This developed plan will help outline your new course and/or outline improvements to be made to an existing plan on a future redevelopment of a course previously taught.

      The plan you develop for your course is not a detailed exercise.  It is designed as a "paper and pencil" activity without requesting much detail.  The goal is to have a new course (or course improvements) outlined that you and an instructional designer could use in Course Development Studio (CDS) to BUILD the course in Moodle.

      "To help campuses ensure that their online courses are learner-centered and well designed, a team of  SUNY staff and campus stakeholders has designed the OSCQR rubric, a customizable and flexible tool for online course quality review.

      The OSCQR rubric specifically targets online course design. The OSCQR rubric is unique and differs from other online course quality rubrics in several ways. It is not restricted to mature online courses. The rubric can be used formatively with new online faculty to help guide, inform, and influence the design of their new online courses, and, it is non-evaluative.

      Conceptually, the rubric and the online course review and refresh process are implemented as a professional development exercise designed to guide online faculty to use research-based effective practices and standards to improve the quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of their online course design, rather than as an online course evaluation, or quality assurance procedure."
