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 begin review the course information below, then when you are ready move to the first module.
In this module, you'll create an NEW plan or an improved plan (working from a previously developed course plan) for how your course will help learners successfully reach the Course Learning Outcomes. This will include considering how course learning
outcomes can be chunked into module-sized pieces, thinking about the module objectives imagine how you might want to measure learning (assessment tools, formative vs summative), existing materials and activities you can use as you move forward, and
listing out the support resources you'll be able to take advantage of along the way. We'll review best practices for course planning and backward design principles.
