Online Course Development
Stipend
A stipend is available for course development. To receive the stipend, new instructors should complete the online course design process, including department head approval:
- First, complete the CAS Online Development Course in Canvas.
- Second, develop your course syllabus using the syllabus template as a guide.
- Third, schedule an instructional design consultation within three weeks before the course start date.
The CAS Online Development Course is required for new online instructors. This course
is designed to inform CAS instructors of the high-quality standards CAS has for its
online courses, and provide tips and strategies to prepare and deliver a CAS online
course offering. No previous online experience required. The course is self-paced
and will take approximately 10-15 hours to complete.
Faculty do not need to complete the CAS Online Development Course more than once.
Instead, schedule a meeting with the instructional designer to discuss a new course
offering to meet the requirements for the online course development stipend.
The stipend is $1,000/credit hour to a maximum of $3,000 (one-half paid at the end
of the first semester the course is offered and the remainder after the third offering).
