Course Proposal StepsStep One | Step Two | Step Three View Most Current Request for ProposalStep One: Proposal SubmissionProposal CriteriaIn response to an RFP (Request For Proposal) potential developers must submit a strong core course proposal and demonstrate content expertise with the course subject. Please note:
Proposals will be reviewed by a subgroup of IOA’s PDC, the Curriculum Committee (CC). During the proposal review process, you may be requested to provide additional information to your course proposal. A course developer will be chosen within one month of the deadline for submission. All who submit a proposal will be notified in writing of the outcome of the review once a developer has been chosen. If a sufficient amount of proposals are not received after the RFP has been distributed, the PDC reserves the right to solicit proposals from qualified potential developers. The following information is required for successful proposal submission. Using a Word document, paste the following items and provide your responses with as much detail as possible.
SubmissionProposals should be submitted via email to David Bremer ([email protected]) by the deadline listed on the specific RFP.Step Two: Course Design DevelopmentThe developer(s) will elaborate their approved proposal to develop and provide 2 deliverables: course syllabus and instruction plan. The instruction plan will include specific learning objectives, strategies, presentations, activities, materials and other resources. Developer(s) will provide the following information: 1. Course description including goals and desired learning outcomes. Step Three: Instructor's Guide DevelopmentDeveloper(s) will provide the detailed, step-by-step guide to be used by other instructors to teach the course. This is the key and final deliverable of the course design process. Course Test-teachOnce the developer(s) submits the final course and materials, PDC will schedule the course for a test- teaching. The developer(s) will be the first faculty to test-teach the course. Additional revisions may be made if necessary. Course RevisionsAs has been the case with the instructor’s guide for Foundations, there is a natural history to on-going replicable course development. It is anticipated that instructors will, within limited perimeters to be determined by the PDC, adapt and improve upon existing materials as they teach successive iterations of the course. Some of these may be modified for future teams and some may remain unique to specific instructors. Specific concerns that a developer may have regarding intellectual property and potential revision of material should be contractually addressed. |
