10 Steps to Building Your Course Online

Your Teaching & Learning Support team has developed a set of self-service tools, resources, and training modules to help you save time and energy when building online course content.

10 Steps To Building Your Course Online is to help you migrate existing course material to an online format, that makes for an engaging and effective learning experience for your students. Migrating a course to an entirely online format does not mean starting from scratch, or changing course learning outcomes. The coming weeks are a chance to think about what assessments make sense for your course context and content, and to figure out how student learning can happen for each.

  • Steps 1-3: Orient and organize your thinking as you design how the course will flow.
  • Steps 4-7: Build the course in a way that will be inclusive and engaging for all students.
  • Steps 8-9: Check it over to make sure it meets Humber’s standards and is ready for your students.
