About

Master Course Process The Virtual Campus uses a comprehensive design and development process based on instructional design theory to create engaging online courses for Indian River State College students. Instructors who are selected to work with the Virtual Campus serve as a subject matter expert. The subject matter expert will collaborate with an instructional designer and a course developer to design and develop a master course by providing objectives and content. The Virtual Campus uses a course template to provide students access to courses with a familiar layout and navigation. The master course will be utilized by all instructors who teach the online course. All Virtual Campus courses use the master course template to address the standards from the Quality Matters Rubric.

Curriculum Maintenance Process The Virtual Campus encourages continuous improvement of the master courses through a process called curriculum maintenance. When a Virtual Campus master course requires curriculum maintenance, instructors discuss the required changes with their department and submit an online form to the instructional design team. The instructional designer will analyze the requested changes to ensure alignment with the course objectives. The Virtual Campus will communicate with the instructor who submitted the curriculum maintenance request when the request is complete. Curriculum maintenance requests will be implemented and deployed during the next semester.
