Course & Program Development
eLearning is committed to supporting faculty to enhance the quality and effectiveness of online, hybrid, livestream, and lecture courses and programs offered at SLCC. It’s the priority of our qualified team to produce amazing courses for students. We are here to help faculty:
- Make navigation intuitive for students.
- Create compelling assignments and assessments.
- Produce engaging learning experiences.
- Generate effective multimedia.
- Use innovative pedagogy.
- Integrate education technology.
By utilizing best practices in instructional design, we can:
- Improve student outcomes.
- Increase retention rates.
- Prepare students for the transfer and/or the workforce.
You can collaborate with us in the following ways:
Consultation: During a consultation, you’ll be introduced to an instructional designer who can assist with specific changes in design or organization you’ve been considering for your course or provide suggestions for improvement. Consultations are flexible and short. They typically focus on small, incremental changes and last 1-6 weeks.
Full Course Design Project: A full course design project involves a thorough examination and redesign of the course. The goal is to create a high-quality course that can be shared among both full-time and adjunct faculty. The course is developed using instructional design best practices to meet SLCC’s quality standards. Due to the high quality expected, the timeline, and the additional workload, a stipend is offered for a project. We recommend that two faculty members collaborate on a full course project. AD approval is required.
Course Revision: Courses developed with our support may require periodic revisions. We expect that most general education courses will need updates approximately every five years. Typically, the revision process involves consulting with faculty to determine necessary changes. However, if the revisions are substantial, a small stipend may be available for this work.
