"Online University in a Box" - Standards and Best Practices

Online course development is dependant upon the tools and used for course development and deployment. Standards and best practices must be defined before development begins to provide consistency through the curriculum and to ensure the technology will support the design. To eliminate rework, these standards should become the rule in a team or vendor development environment. Standards will enable quality in instructional design and ensure that goals and objectives are being met for the learner and the institution.

Our e-Learning consultants can assist in developing standards and best practices in the following areas:

  • Development Workflow
  • Level of Knowledge Transfer
  • Instructional Design Models
  • Student Technical Specifications
  • Media
  • Colors and Themes
  • Formatting Standards
  • Grading Criteria
  • Evaluation Methods
  • Course/Curriculum Maintenace
  • Versioning
  • Program Management
  • Student Management
  • Instructor/Tutor Management

Standards & Best Practices, part of Academic Curriculum Planning & Development (also consisting of eCLIP and ADEPT) along with Program Management comprise the "Online University in a Box" service offering.
