ABSTRACT According to a recent article published by Inside Higher Ed (2018), one-third of all students are taking at least one online class and without that option available, many colleges and universities would see their enrollment in decline. The question for those institutions that do not provide such an online offering is “where do we begin?” This becomes a complicated question when asking other faculty who have experience developing online courses since there is no standard method by which to design them. There are some important considerations and valuable tools that can be useful in deciding how to develop not only the first course, but all of those to follow. While this paper is geared toward an audience with no experience in online courses, there are elements that may be useful to anyone building or revising their curriculum.

如何建立在线课堂

摘要 根据 Inside Higher Ed（2018 年）最近发表的一篇文章，三分之一的学生至少参加了一个在线课程，如果没有该选项，许多学院和大学的入学率将下降。那些不提供此类在线服务的机构的问题是“我们从哪里开始？” 当询问具有在线课程开发经验的其他教师时，这将成为一个复杂的问题，因为没有标准的方法来设计它们。有一些重要的考虑因素和有价值的工具可用于决定如何不仅开发第一门课程，而且决定如何开发所有后续课程。虽然本文面向没有在线课程经验的受众，但有些元素可能对任何构建或修改课程的人有用。
