How Southern New Hampshire U Develops 650-Plus Online Courses Per Year - David Raths, Campus Technology

Kerri Bedrosian, director of eLearning project management for SNHU's College of Online and Continuing Education characterizes SNHU's course development model as "one-to-many." "We have an internal team that designs the course, from the outcome to the critical path for summative assessment, all the formative assessment around it, choosing the learning resource, text or e-text, discussions and lectures or overviews," she said. "All that is designed in-house and built by our production team into Blackboard, our LMS. That becomes our one course model — our master course — and we then copy that out depending on how many sections are needed for that term. The instructor receives a fully completed course. It is great for us because we can ensure a lot of consistency across our sections." http://campustechnology.com/articles/2014/10/15/how-southern-new-hampshire-u-develops-650-online-courses-per-year.aspx
