Content
To Begin: Content Inventory
Once you have set your outcomes and aligned assessment and learning activities, you are now ready to start looking for content. Content is the core element of any online course, but it is not the only element. The course team has a responsibility to collect and curate content so it makes sense, keeps to copyright and licensing conventions, and keeps to a common usage standard.
As a preparation step for putting a course online, it is useful to locate and think about course-related information and activities that will be useful or required for this course.
This matrix will help you identify what resources you are currently using, what resources you can adapt and what resources you need. The matrix also reminds you of the variety of formats in which these content items exist (print, online, audio, video, etc). The resources are also associated with learning activities and tasks, which could prompt further development of content.
