Course Design for Blended and Fully Online Courses

Start With the End In View

Online course planning begins with the Course Outcomes.
Outcomes describe with an action verb what the learner will be able to do upon completion of the course.

They describe learner performance, not the instructor's activities, learning plans or instructional strategies. (Source: WIDS 7 software)

All subsequent course assessments and activities are developed in relation to the outcomes.
