Course Content – Weekly Planning Worksheets
Let’s begin to think through what your next course (demo course – project final) is going to accomplish. Using the resources (first link of this page) of two of the Weekly Planning Worksheets to developing modules (found on this page), fill out a minimum of two weeks of course content with the Module name, Topics, Outcomes, and Objectives, and whatever you deem appropriate to include at this point. Upload them for grading.
Download this file and then Upload two Weekly Planning Worksheets (attached files) here for the instructor to give feedback. You must have two weeks (or Units, whatever you want to call them) of information with the Module name, Topics, Outcomes/Goals, and Objectives.
You may begin to map out the information that you now have added to the Overall Course Map for big picture view.
If you want to develop this entire course you may want to complete each week for the number of modules or units you intend to use. You can update it later but the framework will help to organize your final goals.
There are no wrong ideas, just get something down to review.
