Teaching an Online Course Developed by Others

Online courses continue to explode in popularity.

Those courses are increasingly designed by a team of educators, with the express purpose of creating standardized course content for use over several different units.

Instructors who have little or no role in the development process are commonly asked to teach such courses.

Overcoming the challenges and capitalizing on the opportunities of standardized course content is critical for every member of the online course team.

Susan Ko, Ph.D., a leading expert in online courses and distance education, presents field-tested strategies.

For instructors:
Standardized content can range from a common syllabus to a majority of course material.
