COURSE DEVELOPMENT l We generally use industry standards to
esOmate course development Ome. However, these esOmates are based on such things as: l ConsultaOon Time l Course ObjecOves l Lectures l Assessments l Assignments l SpecializaOons l Blackboard capability l Faculty comfort with technology l StandardizaOon of development
l AddiOonal Ome will be required to ensure that the course meets the standards and quality l Analyze learners to target course content l Design and tesOng of exercises to
evaluate performance l Development of course materials within
the learning management plakorm l Outlining and determining best structure
and flow of course l SelecOng the most appropriate
instrucOonal methods
EXAMPLES OF VARIABLES l Photo ManipulaOon Variables:
l Quality of source photo/need for supplemental material
l Depth of manipulaOon needs l Background replacement 1 hr. l Simple retouch 1 hr. l Facial retouch 1-‐2 hours. l Merging/adding/removing object 1-‐4 hours per object
l Formanng Variables(ie:Powerpoint) l Designing or punng a document/ video/ audio into a premade template
l Copyright research, specific media l Re-‐creaOon of copyright media l Depth of design needs:
l AnimaOons, backgrounds, transiOons, etc.
HOW YOU CAN HELP MAKE THIS PROCESS MORE EFFECTIVE
l CommunicaOon with your OAS lead is extremely import
l All requested materials must be delivered within established Omelines in order to complete your course in a Omely manner
l During your iniOal meeOng, please be prepared to provide your lead with all informaOon that you would like to see as a part of your course
l Keep changes to a minimum as this will delay the development process
l Keep in mind that all courses must be standardized to meet the brand requirements for W. P. Carey School of Business
