Calculating Credit Hours for Your Online Course
Course Description:
By illustrating how much work a course contains, credit hours serve an important role to administrators, instructors, and students alike. Whereas credit hours have traditionally been calculated by looking at how long students spend in the classroom, the online classroom presents a unique set of challenges when it comes to determining that the work being asked of students is comparable to the credit hours being assigned. This short, self-paced course focuses on credit hours and how they’re calculated for the online classroom. By introducing participants to the history of the credit hour, what constitutes a credit hour, and how time-on-task equates to credit hours, this workshop prepares individuals to ensure that the amount of work in their online course is comparable to the credit hours assigned to it.
