Course template (Ultra)

“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.
