AboutMaster Course ProcessThe Virtual Campus uses a comprehensive design and development process based on instructional design theory to createengaging online courses for Indian River State College students. Instructors who are selected to work with the VirtualCampus serve as a subject matter expert. The subject matter expert will collaborate with an instructional designer and acourse developer to design and develop a master course by providing objectives and content. The Virtual Campus usesa course template to provide students access to courses with a familiar layout and navigation. The master course will beutilized by all instructors who teach the online course. All Virtual Campus courses use the master course template toaddress the standards from the Quality Matters Rubric.Curriculum Maintenance ProcessThe Virtual Campus encourages continuous improvement of the master courses through a process called curriculummaintenance. When a Virtual Campus master course requires curriculum maintenance, instructors discuss the requiredchanges with their department and submit an online form to the instructional design team. The instructional designer willanalyze the requested changes to ensure alignment with the course objectives. The Virtual Campus will communicate withthe instructor who submitted the curriculum maintenance request when the request is complete. Curriculum maintenancerequests will be implemented and deployed during the next semester.5
