How does it work?

  1. Programme and course content writing and design 

We can: 

1.1  develop a new fully online or blended course from basic curriculum documents (i.e. ‘from scratch’)

1.2  adapt an existing face-to-face course to produce an exciting, interactive blended or fully online offering, 

or 

1.3  collaborate with subject experts to design courses in a variety of content domains (collaboration can be as close or as limited as you wish).

Each of these options may entail: 

• conducting the necessary desk-top research
• submitting a draft course outline to match your specifications
• after receiving your feedback, submitting a course ‘storyboard’ for your comment
• searching for appropriate learning resources, especially free, adaptable open educational resources (OER)
• if necessary, commissioning and overseeing artwork from trusted and talented illustrators and graphic artists
• designing learning activities and formative assessments, using a range of digital teaching/learning tools
• submitting first-unit drafts for comment
• submitting final drafts for peer review, and
• re-working drafts in response to trialling or other feedback from the lecturer.

________________

The course package 

Whichever of the three options you choose, your course can be rendered as: 

• A text version in MS Word or PDF suitable for presenting as an online learning guide (which can of course be downloaded or printed out by the student)                                                                                              Or
• An interactive SCORM or Moodle package suitable for uploading on to any of the learning management systems (LMSs) in common use.¹

If any additional material is required, such as a course reader, lecturer's guide or separate workbook, these will be listed as distinct items in our quotation.
