Congratulations Distance Learning!
Note:
Elluminate Live is now Blackboard Collaborate and where ELive is referenced in the documents below, they are being updated with this new reference.
The Academic Guidelines and Appendices below were written for Mount faculty developing an undergraduate distance course, an outcome of the CAPP Recommendations to DLCE's Review. Some information could be adapted for oncampus course development or teaching.
Appendix E and F are tools to help faculty write an undergraduate distance course outline; Appendix E is an annotated version of the undergraduate distance course outline template, Appendix F. Both documents have been updated to reflect the latest Senate Policy on Course Outlines (Appendix D) and other new information, e.g., approved distance exam proctor sites.
A sample oncampus undergraduate course outline template is at far right.
Please don't hesitate to contact the Teaching and Learning Centre for assistance with writing your course outline, regardless of the instructional method: msvu.ca or (902) 457-6766.
