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?
