Creating Course Content
Overview
Once you have completed designing the framework and assessment structure of your course and/or lesson, you now need to start creating and/or sourcing materials/content for your course. This section provides several suggestions and considerations as you start to gather your materials.
To enhance this discussion, we will leverage SUNY's OSCQR Rubric, more specifically the "Interaction" section, supplying us with a framework on why meeting these standards is important, as well as how to approach meeting those standards.
For those unable to attend the live session, we have pre-recorded a "mini-lecture" describing the main topics, themes and strategies. You can find the recording under the "Pre-Recorded Review" heading.
