Online Course Organization �

Introduction or overview  

Provide a brief introduction or overview of the unit or topic. Provide your own voice here. Emphasize your personality. Use media (e.g., slideshows, videos, graphics, graphic organizers) to gain the learner’s attention. Reference the media in your introduction. Use links. Consider sharing the objectives/standards: “At the end of this unit, YSBAT…”  

Readings & Media   List here the texts and other media you would like the learners to digest. Be sure you’ve considered how these KSAs will be embedded within other learning activities. (Use other media beyond the text. Embed others’ content.)  

Additional Learning Resources  

Consider adding a section for additional learning (i.e., differentiation). For example, bookmarks to tools and instruments, participation in a blog conversation, links to relevant sites or examples.  

Activities   List here the activities learners will engage in to apply and process the KSAs from the Readings & Media (e.g., projects, discussions, interviews, assessments, summaries). Consider a cafeteria plan option.
