Course template (Ultra)
The Learn.UQ course template supports teaching staff in delivering a consistent student learning experience across all courses and includes required items to meet minimum presence requirements.
“Staff should consider the best practice guidelines made available by the Institute of Teaching and Learning Innovation on the UQ eLearning website.” eLearning policy & procedure (Section 3.12)
A consistent course design helps students quickly locate resources, navigate with confidence, reduces cognitive load, and supports students who rely on assistive technologies to ensure all students can focus on learning, rather than navigation. For advice on getting started with your Learn.UQ course, please refer to the Getting started with Learn.UQ staff guide.

2. Course Staff and Details & Actions
Course Staff - Set Primary Instructors (strong recommended)
By default, this section lists all staff members enrolled in the course as an 'Instructor' in alphabetical order.
We strongly recommend that the Course Coordinator(s) are set as Primary Instructors through the Class Register so you appear first under Course Staff, with students then able to click on the 'Show more' button to view additional instructors. For step-by-step instructions, refer to the Getting started with Learn.UQ guide.
