Before you begin to build your assignments and activities, learn how to apply best practices in course design and facilitation to maximize access and success for all learners.

The HSU Quality Learning and Teaching (QLT) Best Practices Guide 2016 [pdf ] will help you improve the design and effectiveness of your course in order to maximize student engagement and success. This guide was derived from the CSU Quality Online Learning and Teaching (QOLT) evaluation instrument, which was developed after review of related research and literature, as well as careful consideration of existing models for assessing effective online teaching and learning. This guide consists of 10 sections and 54 objectives. It was developed to assist faculty, faculty developers, and instructional designers to more effectively design and deliver courses based on Universal Design for Learning principles.

The 10 QLT sections include:

1. Course Overview and Introduction

2. Assessment and Evaluation of Student Learning

3. Instructional Materials and Resources Utilized

4. Student Interaction and Community

5. Facilitation and Instruction

6. Technology for Teaching and Learning

7. Learner Support and Resources

8. Accessibility and Universal Design

9. Course Summary and Wrap-Up

10. Mobile Platform Readiness
