Kennedy and Connor say their talk will also include a chance for attendees to ask questions and discuss the challenges or concerns they have with launching a new course or program.
“Our job is to work with faculty as they pursue creating an online offering, whether that’s a degree program, a certificate program, or a noncredit program,” says Kennedy.
Purdue Online’s launch process also helps programs navigate the necessary internal and external approval processes, as well as providing instruction design support to create courses and other program offerings.
“Our goal is to provide concierge service from ideation to implementation and launch, and beyond,” Connor says.
