Activity

These activities are designed to help you consolidate some of the concepts introduced in this lesson. They are essential steps in planing an online course. If you are taking the course for credit, they may be required.

1. Write down your policy for the course on each of the three issues raised in the section "Technical Issues". Then address the six issues raised in the section called "Preparation". Decide, too, whether you will make these decisions alone, or whether you will include the class in some or all of the decision making process.

   If you are taking this course as a group, discuss and compare your responses with others in the group.

2. Write down a description of students who will be taking your course, the differences in the way they will be accessing your course, and your assessment of their skill levels. If you are taking this course as a group, discuss and compare your responses with others in the group.
