Written by an educator for educators, this ebook covers the practical questions that often arise when designing and developing an online course. Topics in this ebook were collected and assembled from questions asked over my years of working closely with educators. It is designed to help educators create an online course that is usable, accessible, and engaging so students get the most out of an online course. If you have been asked to design and develop an online course and need some help, you've come to the right place. I'll provide tips to help you prepare to work on your course all the way through to the final touches.
