Ecampus Development/Redevelopment Process for Individual Courses

The following schedule by term is ideal, however it is possible to prepare and submit an Ecampus proposal at any time during the academic year as needs arise.

Fall

1. Pre-Proposal

Faculty / PD / ADAP Faculty and program directors work with ADAPs to determine needs for course development/redevelopment for the following academic year. Consider redevelopment pathways in planning.

2. Pre-Proposal

Faculty / DOP If the course is already part of an online degree or Core Ed, skip to step 3. If course is not part of an existing online degree or Core Ed, faculty will connect with DOP to engage Ecampus leadership to discuss request for course development.

3. Pre-Proposal

SH The School Head will determine faculty developers, workload, and timeframe, including consultations with program director and/or ADAP for curricular delivery. The DOP can be consulted as needed about Ecampus or program needs.

8. Post-Proposal

Faculty Once the MOU is signed, Ecampus will send an automatic email notification to faculty developers with information about their assignment. Faculty will note agreement to the terms for course development.

9. Post-Proposal

DOP The DOP will send a confirmation of the plans (not MOU) to the faculty, ADAP and School Head that includes the course, timeline, and resources for development (COH best practices).

Development / Redevelopment

• Course development/redevelopment are typically scheduled over two terms
• Faculty may be required to complete an online workshop as part of their development/redevelopment
• Utilize the COH Best Practices for Online Course Development and collaborate with instructional designer on Quality Matters principles

Post Course Development / Redevelopment

After a new or redeveloped course has been taught at least one term, if you’re interested, get the course Quality Matters (QM) certified.

• Sign up for a QM training. This training requires 20 hours of work over two weeks and teaches faculty the components of the research-based QM rubric and how to apply the rubric to existing courses.  
• Have your course QM reviewed.
