Course Development & Online Teaching Support

Whether offering courses asynchronously, synchronously, or in a hybrid format, planning is the best first step!  In this phase, our team works with your faculty to talk through chunking course material into modules, understanding your student population and their learning styles, as well as maximizing student engagement to create a successful learning community. In this phase, you will decide on video elements to be filmed, student expectations and knowledge checks, course delivery through Canvas as well as training for online teaching. 

Graduate Professional Education (GPE) courses are developed in partnership with the Baylor University Learning Design team. This partnership is essential for the development of a modality-appropriate learning experience for Baylor GPE students. The Learning Design team uses a systematic design process that relies on timely engagement with course developers. Before beginning that process, an MOU must be signed and submitted.
