Setting Up Your Module 0

What components should I include when I set up my online course?

The first module in many online courses is Module 0.  Module 0 is the single source of information that students need to be successful.  It can include any of the following:

  • Course Overview
  • Syllabus
  • Milestone Assignments
  • Course Readings and Texts
  • Course Outcomes and Expectations
  • An Introductory Message from the Instructor in narrative or video form. Or both!
  • Questions for the Instructor
  • Additional Course Resources

Some professors choose all of these options and some choose only a few. Whichever you choose, consider your students needs. What information do they need to be successful in your course?
