Next, look at the Course Orientation to become familiar with the course format and learn how to successfully progress through the course to completion. Once you have completed the Orientation, continue to explore the course by viewing the Syllabus and the Course Forums.
One of the major concerns students have about online courses is that they’ll be made to teach themselves from provided materials. Even courses with plenty of context and personalized content – video or written lectures from the instructor, for instance – can feel like they’re built for students to work through on their own. This is one of the reasons that consciously constructing interaction in your course will be beneficial.
