Three Types of You U Reviews
There are three places in the course development process where You University recommends having a review. All reviews are optional. At least one review comes with your course. Second and third reviews are included in the Silver and Gold course packages, respectively.
Here are the three reviews, when they occur and their purpose:
Here are the three reviews, when they occur and their purpose:
Review 1 - After week 1 is designed
Weeks in an online course are instructionally alike in that they have the similar structure and flow. They each have introductory material, educational resources, class assignments, etc… By identifying issues early in the process, like after completing week 1, the course designer can prevent making those same mistakes when designing the remaining weeks of instruction. For this reason, You University recommends placing Week 1 online and then reviewing it prior to designing the remaining weeks of instruction.
Review 2 – After the whole course is designed
This review occurs after the entire course has been placed online but prior to the first class session of the course.
Review 3 - After first class session
The first class session of the course will reveal many strengths and weaknesses of a course. This third review captures lessons learned from the first class, and all parties have the opportunity to propose solutions to improve the course for future classes.
