Build Your Course

The second phase of the course design process is to build its structure and content, by incorporating evidence-based best practices.

Once you have designed the structure and outlined the major elements of your course, the next phase is to organize and create content. This includes defining the size and structure of the course elements, ensuring content accessibility, optimizing how students will engage with content and each other, and building assessments to analyze learning.
