EVOLVING THE ONLINE CLASSROOM
For the student, academic experience and engagement are critical. To create this experience, we engage faculty and stimulate their thinking about the possibilities of the digital classroom. We free up faculty to focus on content and students as opposed to digital pedagogy and instructional technology.
PROGRAM PLANNING AND COURSE DEVELOPMENT
Our instructional design team works closely with our partners and their faculty, introducing them to research-based best practices in developing successful online programs, designing online courses, optimizing content for the course platform, and launching courses.

Curriculum design and planning
is so key. Student learning objectives can’t be just thrown together; quality control is key. Relearnit is so smart about this.
QUALITY REVIEW AND SUSTAINABLE INSTRUCTIONAL MODELS
A critical component in sustaining quality online courses is having a quality review process in place that regularly examines courses for those characteristics that are most relevant to student success. Once the course has been launched, Relearnit surveys each faculty member and student for feedback about ways to improve the course and each course is periodically revised.
