Digital Education announces open application for online course development

August 19, 2015  


Digital Education (DE) is accepting proposals to support faculty in the development of new online courses through Oct. 1. 

Digital Education (formerly a unit within Purdue Extended Campus) provides financial, pedagogical and technical support for the development and teaching of online courses to increase access to courses students need to graduate. DE is interested in supporting high-demand undergraduate courses that serve large numbers of students in a variety of majors. To see the complete course selection criteria, visit the website below. This fall, DE will support over 40 online courses serving over 3,200 students.

The course development cycle generally requires about 14 weeks. Courses developed in this cycle should be available to students in summer or fall 2016. DE will support instruction of new courses for at least three academic terms with a possibility of additional support for well-received courses that fill a need effectively. 

Instructional designers will guide interested instructors and departments through the process from creating learning objectives to assessing students with the most advanced tools available for online education.

DE encourages faculty who are unsure about developing online courses for the upcoming academic year to contact the area to discuss options, challenges and benefits encountered by teaching in a different modality.
