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.

LTU Online Teaching Contract

LTU online courses are rigorously designed and delivered by academically qualified faculty members with industry experience to provide an outstanding educational experience to our students. Expectations for LTU online faculty members are explicitly included in the LTU Online Teaching Contract, and they are considered for continuing employment as LTU online faculty members.

All LTU online courses follow LTU’s academic calendar, with Fall and Spring semesters lasting 13 to 15 weeks. They are delivered 100% online and asynchronously using the Canvas Learning Management System.


Planning Online Courses

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.
