The Course Developer Manual lays the foundation for how course developers and faculty can achieve quality and excellence throughout the entire life cycle of a course.
The standards of course development offer a set of guiding principles for the development of online courses. The scope and depth of the guidelines assure that the course design will be thorough and detailed through all levels of the course structure. Where many other course design rubrics present broad and widely-interpretable standards, the TN eCampus Rubric drills down to more detailed specifications within the broad areas of course design.
We are here to provide full support and assistance as you:
