Objectives
Students will develop instruction for online
course delivery created from a job description (workforce education)
and upload it to WebCT, tweaking it for functionality, testing it
for reliability (consistency) and validity (Does it do what it
is intended to do?) and finally working through the content to
ensure credibility and integrity of the course content.

- Develop lessons and activities that will
be appropriate for distance learning
- Adapt material for computer-based or
online lessons

Assignments and Requirements
(Schedule)
Students will
begin the course by developing online course content translating a
combination of already-written content into chunked content
appropriate for online. Then students will learn the fundamentals of
WebCT applying their skills while performing basic exercises such as
text and image manipulation. Students will graduate to taking full
advantage of multimedia to produce interactive, nonlinear (if
necessary) projects that incorporate not only text and image but
also sound and moving image when appropriate.ÉTop

WED 401 Rubric
Class Attendance
Attendance at all classes is a requirement.
If you are unable to attend a class, let me know
before class. You are responsible for all
work covered in your absence and all assignments
MUST be submitted on time.
Policies and
Standards
Special Needs Statement: Students requiring classroom
accommodations or modifications because of a documented disability should discuss this need with the professor at the
beginning of the semester.
Assignments are to be completed on the dates specified by your
instructor. One letter grade is deducted for assignments turned in
late out of respect for the majority of students who submit work on
time. An incomplete (INC) grade at the end of the course is not a
student option--it is given only at the discretion of the instructor.
This course will be supplemented with print and web-based
instructional materials. Consequently, this course requires that
students participate in web-based activities, discussion and lab on a
regular basis.ÉTop
