Developing a Course
The Center for Online Teaching and Learning is happy to assist you
as you develop your online course. Please contact the Center Coordinator,
Eric Wignall, at ext. 4106 to arrange a time when we can work with you
on an individual basis as you develop, organize, and add materials to
your course.
Request a Course Shell
Shells for all GSU courses are automatically created for the new trimester,
approximately seven weeks prior to the start of classes. If you want to request a
shell to begin work earlier than this date, or if your course is not listed on the
Course Schedule, please use the Course Creation Request form.
Organizing your Content
If you would like “quick help” instructions on how to add materials to your course
shell, go to the Faculty Help Tutorial pages.
The Center for Online Teaching and Learning offers a comprehensive online Faculty
Development course which offers step-by-step instructions on how to organize and
build your online course. You will find a link to this course on your MyWebCT page.
If this link is not available, please contact eLearning support.
Using Multimedia
Free or inexpensive software is available to help you create web pages,
create and edit graphics, create Flash presentations or convert PowerPoint to Flash,
and add multimedia to your course. The Review of Media Creation Software
offers links to recommended software.
Course Evaluation
GSU has adopted the Quality Matters Rubric for evaluating online courses.
