Creating a Culture for Collaborative Course Design

How do your faculty collaborate during a course design? Do you have expert instructional designers who are also faculty and serve in both capacities during course designs? At Ashford University we discovered how to leverage existing faculty expertise with online course design as part of a revised process in the College of Education. This session explores the process of piloting a course design process at Ashford University. The revised process for online course design created a collaborative course design experience and is producing more aligned, engaging, empowering, and effective courses and programs. This session focuses on the process and related culture changes, personnel and process calibrations, and examples of our successes and challenges thus far with the pilot of the new process. Access to documentation is available to participants in this session upon request.
