What is Course Development?

eLearning offers course development consulting, workshops, and other services. Course Development is a campus-wide initiative for developing and/or enhancing online, hybrid, or face-to-face courses and may also be applied to refreshing current courses. The emphasis is on quality course design, effective use of teaching and learning strategies and technologies, faculty support and enrichment, and student support and learning engagement. In addition, eLearning services and course developers consult faculty and answer faculty and student course-specific questions when these questions are escalated from the Help Desk.

Teams of faculty, industry experts, and instructional designers use a course development methodology to design reusable learning content for inclusion in LTU online Canvas courses. A Course Development Template is available for faculty for the purpose of organizing and planning their course. To support student engagement and faculty presence, it is suggested that faculty develop recommended Learning and Teaching Schedules specific to their course.

Terms & Conditions

In order to provide excellent quality of service to all Lawrence Tech faculty, staff, and students, the following rules have been established for eLearning’s video production services. Exceptions to these conditions may be granted on a case-by-case basis.

  1. Requests for video production, video editing, transcoding video formats, and audio support must be made using the eLearning Media Services Video Request Form. Once the request is received, a confirmation email will be issued to the requestor—typically within 48 hours. Requests are scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis and are subject to staff availability. 
  2. Certain locations on campus have audio and lighting limitations including but not limited to: low lighting conditions, inability to utilize a room audio system feed, and mechanical noise interference. Some of the more common limitations are listed below.
    • A200 – Spotlights are fixed and cannot be moved. Auditorium sound system can be used via cables on the podium at the front of the room.
    • S100 – Stage lighting is the sole responsibility of the requestor and is managed by Media Services ( av@ltu.edu ). Auditorium sound system is also managed by Media Services.
  3. Raw footage filmed by eLearning Services shall remain the property of Lawrence Technological University. All footage filmed by eLearning Services will be edited by eLearning Services unless an agreement is made prior to the event. Student videographers and editors work with requestors to ensure a quality final product is produced. 
  4. Final edited video will be delivered via YouTube (public or unlisted, as specified by requestor) or via Google Drive. Completed video files may also be delivered on a data disc (DVD), however this format will not be playable in a standard DVD player.
  5. Projects with specific deadlines will be met as closely as possible. Certain factors may extend deadlines beyond control, including delayed response to editor questions and heavy workloads. Media Services will make an effort to inform the requestor of deadline extensions. 

Video Request Form

Use this form to submit a request for videotaping, editing, or transcoding (transferring media to a new format). You should receive an email confirming your request within two business days. If you do not receive a confirmation, email mediapro@ltu.edu to make sure we have received your request.

For events spanning multiple days, a form must be submitted for each day of the event.

Please note that submission of this request form does not guarantee that your request can be accommodated.
