Abstract

In 1998, the University of Texas (UT) at Austin, the University of Texas at Brownsville, and the University of Texas at San Antonio received a grant to collaborate and develop an online master’s degree in educational technology. The grant allowed the universities, all in the UT system, to pilot four courses. The courses are delivered through electronic means and without regular, face-to-face meetings. Students enroll for a course through their own institution, although the course may be delivered from another, partner institution. Computers in the Classroom is one of these pilot courses offered through the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). At this writing, the course is still under construction. Rather than describe the logistical and administrative aspects of the project, this paper focuses on the actual course development. It describes the process of course development and the course design, including considerations of the learner, content, activities, delivery and assessment.
