The Center for Online Learning’s Module Making Camp is a three-day event focused on building or refreshing modules in your in-person, hybrid, or online courses. We will work intensively to support you as you design one learning module for a course that you will be teaching. We ask that you set aside the time to attend all sessions, complete the creation of an online module, and present the completed module to your colleagues.
A learning module is a collection of subject-related teaching materials that is carefully sequenced and chunked. In addition to course content, modules contain learning outcomes, directions for use, learning activities, and assessments to ascertain whether students have understood the material covered in the module. They are the building blocks of hybrid and online courses, but also useful to replace sessions of in-person courses when weather, conferences, or health issues require alternatives. Professors design these learning experiences and students complete them within a specified period of time, usually a week.

| Day 3 | 10am – Noon (Optional): You can either attend tool workshops or work on your module with support staff online who are ready to help you. 2pm – 4pm (Required): Make final touches and present your module. Get feedback from colleagues and get ideas for improving it prior to launching it! |
