Step 2.

Define a policy to manage expectations about the feedback you will give them.

  • a milestone calendar indicating the estimated time it will take to complete each task.
    Add an additional 10--—20% for formative evaluation (See Topic 10)

  • an asset list defining the needed amount of text, graphics, rich media, or programming you will need to develop
  • how will your course be managed? Will you use course management systems or other tools? How many hours per week do you plan to spend teaching and managing the course?
