NNMC faculty interested in teaching online or developing classes in the online environment are expected to be both credentialed and have their courses go through an approval process.
- Review detailed expectations for credentialing and approval processes (see links below for complete details).
- Apply to become credentialed to teach online courses at NNMC. (Note: you must be credentialed to teach prior to having courses approved).
- Obtain permission from your Director or Chair to develop an online course. If approved, the Director or Chair will request a Blackboard shell for your course.
- Begin course development utilizing the course template. It is recommended 25% (at minimum) of the course will need to be developed prior to review. Also, complete a self-evaluation of your developed course using the Quality Matters™ (QM) standards.
- Your Director or Chair will submit a formal application for the course and self-evaluation to be reviewed.
- If your course meets 85% or more QM standards, it will be approved and you can finish course development. If not, the review committee will recommend changes and you can resubmit for consideration within 2 weeks.
