摘要

The effort involved in developing a single university course for online consumption is massive. And the steps that must be taken to bring a course from its inception to its publication are truly intricate and multi-layere —requiring extensive cooperation from many different people along the way. Deans, centre chairs, professors, subject matter experts, course coordinators, tutors, learning designers, editors, visual designers, multi-media web specialists, copyright officers, materials management personnel, librarians, and administrators are all part of the process, and each one of these stakeholders is responsible for keeping timely tabs on where a course is and where it needs to be.

This poster presentation will give a visually comprehensive overview of the workflow and measures involved in producing a successful course; and the verbal narrative shared by the presenter will add more colour and insight to this elaborate process, shedding light on how to coordinate the various academics, production team members, tasks, and technologies.

The poster itself includes an organized and somewhat linear framework that willencompass—and emerge from—the following matters:
 collaboration
 course development (organization/revision, design, media/technologies, legalities, etc.)
 course delivery
