Course Developers

Developing courses for the online environment is quite different than developing for the classroom. In the classroom, instructor presence guides learning and provides structure for the classroom activities.  In the Online environment, the course developer must design a logical learning structure and opportunities for the instructor to guide the learning activities and assessments. Learning becomes student-centric to accommodate the characteristics of the online learner and courseware must be carefully designed to avoid becoming shovelware (shoveling courses from the classroom to the online learning environment). This philosophy prevails in the Asbury University Online Course Developer's Toolkits below.
