This guide is based on a model developed from experience with hundreds of online courses. The authors are members of The Concord Consortium, a nonprofit educational technology lab dedicated to improving teaching practices through the appropriate integrated use of technology in the classroom. Based on their experience, the authors offer the Concord Consortium e-Learning Model, which provides a working overview of online teaching, and seventeen elements presented in three sections (prepare, design and teach) that take the reader step-by-step through the necessary steps to put the Concord model into practice. Contents include: (1) Introduction (The Concord Consortium e-Learning Model for Online Courses; Pre-Questionnaire 1: Goals; Pre-Questionnaire 2: Instructor Training and Requirements; and Pre-Questionnaire 3: Technical Requirements and Administrative Support); (2) Section 1.
