What makes the design and delivery of an online course successful? Many things must be taken into consideration as you are designing and delivering an online course. First, you must study and look for reasons why other online courses are successful. Searching the web for content, tools, objectives, and other information to include in the course will help in establishing the course. Troubleshooting should be prevalent. For things to run smoothly and have a clear focus many things must be considered including: network costs, network software, providers, network connections, and the nature of the work. Without trials and test runs of how to set-up the course and things to include, then the course will not be successful. I think that constant feedback is vital and open waves of communication between faculty/faculty and faculty/student is essential. Ways to improve or begin a course should be discussed with other staff and compared to other sources. The more feedback available, the better the design and development of the class will be.
