This project is on pause as of April 28, 2020 due to other COVID-19 priorities. 

Under the collective leadership of Humanities Media and Computing, the Library and the MacPherson Institute, we propose to lead a consortium of campus service partners to implement a Course Planning Portal to guide instructors through comprehensive course planning in order to produce two key products for the instructor: a course outline and a customized package of instructional resources.

Stakeholders to be considered in the development include Instructors, Students,  Program and Departmental Administrators, Student Accessibility Services, the Registrar’s Office, the Campus Store, the Library (including Campus Classroom Technologies), the MacPherson Institute, Media Production Services, the Centre for Continuing Education, CUPE 3906, Office of Community Engagement and the Equity and Inclusion Office.

The purpose of this proposal is to share information about this initiative.   This is a multi-phase project. Phase One will gather and confirm requirements from all stakeholders, and design the approach and timing to develop and pilot a Course Planning Portal in Phase Two. The initiative has received $500K in funding through the Strategic Alignment Fund.
