Course Design:  Design Steps

This work was generated during the EDU 763 Instruction Design for E-learning course.    Using the work of Robin M. Smith Conquering the Content: A Step-by-Step Guide to Online Course Design, I used a number of forms to plan and develop modules for a course to introduce the professional role of the Registered Nurse to the Licensed Vocational (or Practical) Nurse who seeks to advance their nursing education. To show the process of developing the course, I've put the forms on this page that allow you to follow my process of design.  Please take a look at the forms to see the progression from idea on paper to course framework. Below, each topic is linked to the page and each page has navigation to move forward and backward through the design steps.
