Development

Our Process

In the Development phase, within the Framework for Quality Online Courses, you will be guided through a process for developing quality online courses at RDC. This process is illustrated by the following graphic:

While working alongside our available team, you will be introduced to materials and resources that will assist you along the way. Online courses are developed in Blackboard, the Learning Management System (LMS) at RDC.

At any point during this phase, connect with the CTL for support (ctl@rdc.ab.ca | 403.356.4989 | 8:30am-4:30pm M-F in 913C)
