How can I reflect on my design with Course Components in mind?

After considering the components you will include in your course, it is a good idea to rethink the course design you had in mind. Below are some questions that you can ask yourself about your course design in terms of the components you will use:

Is the "Welcome" or "Start Here" module obvious to find?
Should I integrate an interactive syllabus into the course design:
- Assignment due dates linked to the course calendar?
- Links to the rubrics in Canvas?
- Links to assignment directions?
- Links to discussions and dropboxes?
Did I provide a variety of learning opportunities using rich multimedia?
- Did I create a "human presence" through any clips of myself as instructor talking?
- Did I use a variety of images, video, audio, and text?
- Are there "low bandwidth" options such as audio only for a video presentation?
- Do learning objects draw students back to assigned readings from textbooks and articles (for example, did I use screen capture to parts of those texts)?
