This course explores the fundamental concepts necessary to understand program and curriculum development in education with a focus on hybrid and virtual courses. Topics include the review of conceptual frameworks for planning, recruitment, evaluation, and research on program implementation and program building, as well as procedures for making course curriculums more engaging, customized, and meaningful for learners. Participants synthesize program planning theory and practice through a series of online lectures, readings from the research literature, collaboration with colleagues, and practical assignments. Taking ILDT 5301, ILDT 5302, or ILDT 5303 before this course is highly recommended.
