Considerations
•Organization - What are we going to do? What is the purpose?
•Budget - What will this cost? How do we pay for this?
•Policies and Procedures - How will we do what we need to do? How will we insure quality in the program?
•Process and Quality•Curriculum – Design it? Purchase it?•Teaching/Facilitating – Full time? Part time? •Students/Learners – Individuals? Groups?
•Public Relations - How will we make our audience aware of us? Are there any other audiences we might attract?
•Program Improvement / Evaluation - How do we make ourselves better?
•Scaling Issues - How big do we want to get? Can we get that big?

A Sustained Discussion of Content
and Application of Knowledge • Courses are delivered over a 7 week period for sustained
connection to and immersion in the content.• Learners will engage in readings, web site explorations, online
videos, and other multimedia experiences that provide content information.
• Discussion of content for deeper understanding of how the content fits into the learners situation, needs, experiences, and comfort level. Discussions are a key component of our course model. Continuous participation in the ongoing discussions throughout the course is expected.
• A relevant, authentic project is completed over time as the course progresses. The projects are designed so that learners can use them in their teaching practice.
