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.
Learn.UQ course template structure
6. Content: Learning modules
Learning modules (strongly recommended)
It is strongly recommended that you include learning modules which should contain the learning resources for the relevant week / module / topic. This is where all learning content should be placed in relevant time-based learning modules (i.e. Week X, Module X, Workshop X, Topic X, Day X).
Note: Optionally, the icon can be replaced with an image of your choice.
Introduction/O Week module (optional)
Optionally include an Introduction or O Week module before the first week / module / topic learning module. For step-by-step instructions, refer to the Icons and document banners guide.
Week X Overview document (optional)
Optionally include a "Week X: Overview" (or other time-based name) document as the first item within each learning module to provide students with an overview of what they can expect in the learning module.
Additional learning modules/folders (if required)
If your course content is unsuited to time-based learning modules (e.g. Clinical placement information or Laboratories where the cohort do not all do the lab in the same week), we recommend you create additional learning modules and folders to suit your unique course structure.
