Course Orientation

Welcome to Course Design Introduction

We're happy you're here!

Yep, we are still in our pandemic transition stage, and for some, it still seems like a new or slowly changing environment. Whether you've taught a million online courses or you've just finished teaching a remote-to-fully online course last year, the landscape has changed again in the past few terms–and it may shift again. Thank you for taking the time to improve your teaching practices with us.

We (your instructional design team) have put together this development course to provide a picture of what online teaching means at Lane, to introduce our standards of best practices, and to prepare you to build a course that is accessible and inclusive.

Most of this course is built to promote collegial exploration of learning about online practices. At some points, though, you'll get an experience that's closer to the student experience online. We'll be your facilitators and instructional designers, for the duration of this course, whether it takes you two days or the rest of the term. We're glad to be working with you!
