Using the Checklist

To check a course meets our standards:Part A – Menu, Getting Started, Faculty Information and Tools

Part B –Course Resources and Student Support

Part C – LessonsPart D ‐AccessibilityPart E ‐Grade Center and Faculty Presence

Creating a better student experience

In Web and Mobile app design/development UX (User EXperience)  is a major consideration

For online courses let’s consider SXP (Student EXPerience)!

If you are going for AWESOME…look at you course content and see if its looks like 2002 or 2019
