In reply to Piyusha Tandon question, I've developed a vast
array of online courses in the last few years. I start the
design process by looking at who the students are,
prerequisite skills required, age, diversity issues etc.
Then I look at the course goals/objectives/outcomes and try
to identify a process for moving students towards that
goal. Then I look at the discipline traditions, assessment
and the content. Each course is unique, but I try to keep
some consistency within a discipline. There are also some
University of Saskatchewan standards about how courses
physically are presented that demand some consistency
overall.
Good online content is different from in class content
because online you have the opportunity to be more
multimode and flexible, but on the other hand, the student
has less direct access to the teacher and other students.

What matters most is not the moment when the student uses
the technology, but how that use promotes improvement in
that student's education. - S. Ehrmann
