Designing for Online Learning

Designing courses for online learning opens new possibilities for connection, creativity, and flexibility. It allows you to reach students across the globe, bring in diverse perspectives, and adapt learning experiences to individual needs. Yet, designing a high-quality online course takes planning, intention, and the right support. That’s where we come in.   

Mason Online’s Office of Digital Learning partners with faculty to support every stage of online course development, from clarifying learning outcomes and aligning assessments to increasing student engagement, simplifying grading, and ensuring accessibility. Whether you’re redesigning an existing course or building something brand new, our team can help you make your course effective, engaging, and easy to navigate.   

Not sure where to begin? Thoughtful course design begins with clear goals, intentional activities, and aligned assessments. Use the resources to the right to guide your next steps or request a one-on-one consultation. 

Our services are offered at no cost to George Mason faculty and can be customized to support your course goals and teaching approach.
