August 11, 2008

We have now started the new round of development! Welcome to you if you are a new developer and you are new to the process - we are happy to have you aboard :-) Please take some time to look back on past posts in this blog to get ideas for your development. Even if you aren't new to online development it is always good to look back to use ideas from the past!

Company News:

Starting this fall quarter we will be offering online programs to students out in Utah! In the past Utah students have taken GU/MSB courses online through a consortium agreement, but now the courses are being developed for Utah Career College students as well! What does this mean for development? Mainly, please stay away from referring to Globe University or Minnesota School of Business in your verbiage. Additionally, as always, as you are creating your courses, please remember that students all over the country will be taking them. This means that if you mention something local or Minnesota specific, students may not understand what you are referring to.

General Updates:

The 25% completion date will be upon us before we know it - September 1st is the date. If you are having trouble getting your textbook or getting started please let me know ASAP. As you are starting your development please take a look at what items might be good as an audio lecture. You can send them to me right away so I can get started working on them to have them up and running for you. All I need is a power point presentation and a script! Also, if you would like to have a "review quiz" in the middle of the presentation or as a stand alone this is also possible. The review quizzes could test a student's knowledge without counting in the grade book. This is a wonderful way to test reading/listening comprehension.

Have fun with starting your new developments!
