I was browsing around at the resources within UNT related to instructional design, when I stumbled across this page of best practices in online teaching. While it is specific to teaching at UNT, and the learning management we use (Canvas), I think it is a useful list when thinking about developing online courses in a higher education setting. It provides a clear breakdown of some on the important components in an online courses, and some of the technological hurdles one might have to overcome, like recording and editing videos, adding captions, and creating online assessments.

An expert in the field of Learning Technologies is one that I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with many times: Dr. Deborah Cockerham. I thought of her when prompted to think of an expert in the field because I know a bit about her multidisciplinary background, from working with youth, having a music background, and her experience creating collaborative projects between universities and museums. I’m always curious about professionals that come to the instructional design field with a varied background. Her profile can be found at: https://lt.unt.edu/deborah-cockerham
