One requirement for eligibility for new online course development grants being offered in Spring 2011
is adherence to the following schedule and submission of the following deliverables. Grant payment will be dependent on adherence to this schedule and on online course design and development approval by the Columbus State University Distance Learning Committee as described below.
The following schedule and submission processes have been created to promote quality and consistency across online courses offered at Columbus State University. Online courses at Columbus State
University should:

Employ best practices for online course design and delivery based on research

Model a consistent look and feel with content organized by learning modules
To address these criteria, Distance Learning Design & Delivery (DLDD) has developed a CougarView template as a starting point for course design. The template has a pre-designed structure that expedites course development and embodies pedagogical best practices for online courses. The template also provides a consistent overall look and feel for students. We highly recommend that you use this template in your course design.
1. February 10 – March 4: Review the Addressing Quality Matters Rubric Standards through DLDD-CSU
Services, Tools and Resources document and embedded links which have been selected to help you address the Standards of the Quality Matters (QM) Rubric. The document maps key services, tools and resources provided by Distance Learning Design & Delivery (DLDD) and Columbus State University (CSU) to QM Rubric Standards. Note that additional resources to help meet QM Rubric Standards are provided in the Resources section of the DLDD web site at http://dl.columbusstate.edu/resources.php
.
Consider attending a CougarView Template Workshop to be scheduled in late February, 2011.
2. March 7-18: Submit your QM action plan along with requisite grant forms to the Distance Learning
Committee Chairperson, Jackie Radebaugh (radebaugh_jacqueline@colstate.edu). Your plan needs to clearly specify how you will address each of the Standards of the QM Rubric. Your plan should describe in detail how you will utilize key DLDD-CSU services, tools and resources in the design, development and delivery of your new online course.
3. March 28-April 8: Schedule an online course design and development initial meeting consultation with DLDD staff. Contact information is provided at: http://dl.columbusstate.edu/staff.php
. Marty
Westrick and Wayne Slabon will review your QM action plan and provide you with design and development recommendations. You will also be given a sandbox area in CougarVIEW for course development. Note that your first two course modules, a course overview/introduction module and a
first unit of instruction module, need to be fully developed for presentation between May 23 and June
3. The CougarView template available from DLDD can greatly assist you in developing the first module.
4. April 18-29: Schedule an online course design and development checkpoint 1 consultation meeting with DLDD staff.
5. May 9-20: Schedule an online course design and development checkpoint 2 consultation meeting with DLDD staff.
6. May 23-June 3: Advise the Distance Learning Committee Chairperson, Jackie Radebaugh
( radebaugh_jacqueline@colstate.edu
) that you have completed development of your first two course

modules and would like to schedule a presentation. For scheduling purposes, please provide a few date and time options. The Distance Learning Committee Chairperson will then notify you of a suitable presentation date/time. You will present your first two course modules to the Distance Learning
Committee for consideration with the QM Rubric as the instrument for online course design and development evaluation.
This presentation will allow you to receive and give peer-to-peer feedback. For instructors not on campus during this time, a Wimba session may be scheduled for the presentation.
7. June 7: Notifications will be sent to candidates of online course design and development acceptance or the specification of necessary revisions before approval can be granted. If course revisions are necessary, you will have two weeks, until June 21, to make and present the requisite revisions to the
Distance Learning Committee Chair and still be eligible for June 2011 grant fund disbursement. If you are unable to make the requisite revisions by the June 21 deadline, you will no longer be eligible for June
2011 funds disbursement. However, you may continue working on your course design and development and re-submit for future grant consideration, predicated on grant funding availability.
If you should have any questions, please contact the Distance Learning Committee Chairperson, Jackie
Radebaugh, at 706.565.3555 or radebaugh_jacqueline@colstate.edu
