The course will prepare educators to design content, peer review courses, and create activities that encourage active learning and student participation in the online environment.

This course complements EDU 285, which addresses the roles and tasks of the online teacher. EDU 285 and 287 may be taken in any sequence.
Schedule
This is a three-credit course compressed into ten weeks; expect to spend the equivalent of about two days a week on course work. Because many of the assignments involve discussion and other forms of collaboration, assignments are completed on a weekly schedule, with some mid-week due dates.
EDU 287 is offered each Fall and Spring semester.
Prerequisites
This course is for teaching faculty familiar with Blackboard. Permission of the instructor is required.
