Course Development Feedback

Whether you are building your very first online module or fine-tuning your twentieth course, our Learner Experience Design team is here to support you.

You can use the form on the right to request a comprehensive review of your course. You can request a review for an entire course, a specific module or piece, or even just an idea you working out! 

⏱️ Note on Timing: To ensure your course gets the attention it deserves, please allow up to two weeks for our team to complete the review. We highly recommend submitting your request well ahead of your course launch date!

 

What Kind of Feedback Will You Receive?

When you submit your course, our team evaluates through four distinct lenses:

  • Technical: This includes making sure all links work, external tools integrate smoothly, assignment settings are correctly configured, etc. We review the Canvas setup to make sure all pieces functions as expected.

  • Formatting: We look for clean/organized layouts, consistent fonts, typos, grammar, etc.

  • Accessibility: We help ensure all students can thrive. This includes verifying color contrast, confirming image alt-text, and checking heading structures for screen-reader compatibility.

  • User Experience (UX): We step into your students' shoes. We evaluate how intuitive the navigation is and whether course flow and instructions are clear, ensuring a frustration-free learning journey.
