Where does the process of planning a course begin? Where does it end? What does a course plan look like, and how does it differ from a course design? This chapter provides an overview of the broad considerations in preparing an online course plan. A plan is a starting point for moving forward with the design, implementation, and evaluation of an online course. • Who will you work with to design the course? • Who will take the course and why? • What do we know about the learners? • How do instructor styles factor into the planning? • What are the main components of the course? • How will the course be organized? Even the most open-ended learning activities begin with a plan. However, a plan will and should be refined and adjusted during implementation. In this sense a plan evolves, but it continues to provide a sidebar of sorts, or something to guide the decisions about the design work that needs be carried out. A plan can be both an ongoing reality check, and way to focus on important elements of a course design.
