Authoring Online Course

Jo Ann, You brought up some excellent things to think about. The needs assessment is a component people forget about. They just put a course together because the can. . .not becuase it's necessary. I have seen research that has said that it takes approximately 15 hours to put 1 hour of online instruction online. It it time consuming. Nice job.

Sherrilyn, Even though you are not developing your own courses, it is AWESOME that you are involved in the process. This establishes good communication between the instructor and developer and helps course be developed to meet everyone's needs. Thanks!

Sherrilyn, Totally agree. Begin with positive feedback, add some constructive criticism if needed, and be specific. The frequency/timeliness is many times the hard thing to do, but so important. Thanks!
