Many educators have asked me what they can do to prepare before they formally begin to develop an online course. This handout provides 10 activities for getting a start in online course development.
New Online Course Developer Survey
This survey was created as an intake survey to help faculty self-assess their skills, readiness, and concerns in developing an online course. It is also used for program administrators to assess faculty training needs.
Online Course Rubric
This online course rubric can be used by a course developer to self-assess his or her course as well as by course reviewers. It was collaboratively created between myself and a City College of San Francisco instructor.

The goal of this research is to assist novice online course developers in making their development process more efficient and effective.
Listen to an interview (6 minutes 47 seconds) from a conference (June 2007) where I spoke about online course development and design.
The "How-Tos" of OER Commons is a set of learning modules evolving out of the development of OER Commons, a teaching and learning network for free-to-use educational materials from around the world, created and licensed by the Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education (ISKME). Course contributors are Lisa Petrides, Amee Godwin, and Cynthia Jimes, and online learning consultant, Patricia Delich. This is an example of a project I designed, wrote, developed, and implemented.
