A course structure that is simple, well organized and allows for student participation through various activities is likely to succeed. Here are some best practices for creating a successful course on cuLearn.
Simplicity
Use a simple and clear layout to help students find the resources and materials easily. Label files with meaningful names that identify the materials.
Organization
Organize your course in a logical manner. Consider modular organization such as by topic, week-by-week or grouping similar content together (e.g., readings grouped together in one folder).
Participation
Student participation in course activities keeps them engaged throughout the term. Create forums for discussions between instructor and students or amongst students themselves. Use the survey tool to collect feedback throughout the course.
