Digital Learning Design

Course Selection and Approval

Each college manages its own strategy for online course development, tailored to specific goals and program needs. These strategies may focus on courses needed for targeted programs, high-enrollment courses, updates to existing online offerings, meeting increased student demand, or reaching a broader or specialized student audience. While each college approaches development with unique priorities, all share a common commitment reflected in the University Strategic Plan--to promote student success at USF and beyond.

The Associate Deans and other college leaders play a crucial role in coordinating with InEd Digital Learning before each development cycle, ensuring that online initiatives align with college-specific goals. USF faculty interested in developing or refreshing an online course should contact their college representative below. They are the initial point of contact for course development proposals and will guide faculty through the selection and approval process.
