To get your course offered to a broader audience and specific professions you will need to provide us with additional material.
We have created "Best Practices" that contains all the necessary information/materials we need from you.
Requirement: Learning Objectives
Details:
Let students know what they'll have achieved by the end of the course.
Add learning objectives to your course.
These Objectives should be relevant, testable, and very specific (e.g. "Be able to explain the role of an angel investor"), rather than broad (e.g. Gain an understanding of finance).
Requirement: Knowledge Level and Prerequisites
Details:
Let students know if they need any preparation for the course.
Please add the knowledge level, course prerequisites and advanced preparation.
If your course is Intermediate or Advanced Level you NEED prerequisites.
Requirement: Field of Study
Details:
Provide between 1-3 Fields of Study for your course, describing the course content in one or two words (e.g. Financial Accounting).
Requirement: Detailed Curriculum
Details:
Make it easy for students to navigate through your course, and find information quickly.
Please provide a curriculum for your course.
Requirement: Glossary of Terms
Details:
You should provide a supplementary document in your course, featuring a Glossary of terms (i.e. an alphabetical list of terms with definitions or explanations) that come up in your course content.
Requirement: Quiz Questions with Feedback
Details:
You must provide 3 quiz questions for every 50 minutes of course content you provide. These questions should be multiple choice, not True/False.
Quiz questions must also have detailed feedback. Evaluative feedback for each incorrect response must explain specifically why each response is wrong (e.g. writing “This is incorrect” or writing the correct answer as feedback is not accepted). Reinforcement feedback must be provided for correct responses (i.e. explain why the correct answer is correct).
Requirement: Final Exam
Details:
You must provide a Final Exam for your course. There must be at least 5 questions for every 50 minutes of course content.
Questions should be multiple choice, not True/False.
This should be uploaded in the same way as Quizzes, but should be titled Final Exam.
You do not need to provide evaluative feedback for each correct/incorrect answer, as you do in the Review Quizzes. In the Quiz Editor, you should therefore unselect “Show question responses”, as students should not receive feedback following Final Exam questions, and enter “70%” into the Passing grade field.
Lastly, the Final Exam must directly assess 75% of the stated Learning Objectives. For example, if you have 4 learning objectives stated, you must assess the students’ knowledge of at least 3 of them. To indicate which questions are probing which Learning Objectives, you may write the Learning Objective in brackets following the relevant question (e.g. “What is an angel investor? [Learning Objective: Be able to explain the role of an angel investor]”).
