• Select any class from Primary to Tertiary and any course for this project. • For the Phase 1 – do a maximum of 1 page write up, answering the various questions being asked. • For the Phase 2 – you can use the course manual for this course as sample to create a course manual for the course that you choose. The course manual that you design will be your building block for the course website. UNIVERSITY OF EDUCATION, WINNEBA DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Remember course website is NOT just a container for course content materials. A proper web￾based courseware is built from a detailed course manual. We use the weekly forecast or schedule to create the related webpages of the course website. The process of creating an effective course website or online courseware consists of four seamless phases: Planning, Organizing, Designing and Developing phases Planning Know your target audience. Who are you design and developing the course for? What is the background in terms of their online readiness skills and knowledge, the diversity of learning styles and needs, the conduciveness of the learning environment, access to various support and course resources required. In addition, you have to think through the instructional strategies in alignment with the learning objectives or outcomes. Remember to predetermine the relevant assessment regimes and course activities that promote collaborative and engaged learning opportunities that are in alignment with the learning outcome. Organizing Now pick the course materials and chunk them into manageable related units as scheduled in your course manual. The sequencing of these chunks is next, and these should be done with learning outcomes and activities and course assessment regime. Designing Website layout, background, navigation and icons to be used consistently, font type, size and colour chose to be in clear contrasts with the background and used consistently throughout the pages. Think about learners with special needs at this stage with alternative design and inclusion of appropriate multimedia to enhance their access to course material. Developing This is the phase where we put everything discussed in the preliminary phases. Decide what web authoring application to use to develop the website. In the case of our course project, we are using MS Office Word. Pull up your course manual and check to be sure the course description and weekly schedule are appropriately covered in the planning and organizing phases. Decide if your webpages are weekly or topical lessons. Next pull up the learning pathway word document and follow to develop the webpages of the website, following chunked units and activities as well as the learning materials associated with weekly lessons and assessment regimes. You would normally begin with week 0 or topic 0, where the relevant invariant information is captured or presented. Do a warm welcome introduction to the course, indicating the relevance of the course, learn
