Course: Dev_TOPKIT_SAMPLE_COURSE_Bauer_S_67

Hello Everyone!

Happy Friday! This last week, you began to lay the foundation toward building your course. Your syllabus, expectations and introduction are three critical elements that will get your online course on the right foot. This part can be time-consuming up front, but it can save time in the long run.

Week 3 officially starts today. Below is a recap of the assignments you should be working on for Week 3:

1. Build Your Course Schedule
2. Objectives and Interaction Activity
3. Planning Your Module Group Discussion

Also, please be sure to contact your Instructional Designer to schedule Consultation #2. You will be discussing the content from Weeks 2 and 3. This is your opportunity to get individual feedback and coaching in the design of your course. This is a great time to ask questions specific to your discipline and level of experience with online teaching and learning.

In addition, please note the optional Open Lab scheduled right after the required F2F morning session for Week 5. We'll have laptops on hand and members of the Webcourses@UCF Support team ready to assist you with any technical questions or issues you may have as you build your individual courses, so please consider staying around for part of the afternoon. You will have photo opportunities on this day but no photo opportunities will be available for Week 8, so make sure to get yours taken.

Have a great week!

Tommi & Rick
