online CoursE Approval Process/Timeline

FALL 2010

(Spring 2011 Courses)

 

 

 

  1. ASAP:  Review your course idea with your subdivision and dean to gain support for offering the course.  Note that the decisions to schedule an online course and the instructor assignment are matters for the subdivision and dean, not the Committee on Online Learning (COOL).

 

 

  1. ASAP:  Complete your initial Blackboard training/consultation session with our Instructional Designer. To begin the process please go to:

  1. Monday September 13, 2010:  Submit electronic version and hard copy of online course delivery proposal (with all required signatures) to the COOL Chair (Ramona Silver).  Once you have submitted your proposal, a review team from the COOL will be assigned to review your proposal.   This small team will help you through the rest of the process.

 

 

  1. By October 12, 2010 :  Feedback on your course proposal from COOL members will be available in the Blackboard BOLT course.  Review and reply to this feedback, and incorporate in your course as needed.

 

 

  1. By November 29, 2010:  Review your course shell plus 1-2 weeks of content with your COOL review team.  We also encourage you to share the course with your colleagues, but this isn't required.  Feedback will be provided both at your meeting and following the final committee vote.

 

 

  1. 2-3 weeks before the semester begins:  Complete your formative evaluation with our Instructional Designer (Lisa Ulibarri).
