The KYSU Online Course Content Management Procedures aims to establish procedures for implementing the KYSU Online SME Model for Online Courses (1.3.8). This document describes the procedures Subject Matter Experts use when developing, redeveloping, changing, and editing the content of courses for KYSU Online. It also lists the timelines involved in the procedures.
KYSU Online manages the content of online courses in the Learning Management System (LMS) following a SME Model for online education. The Subject Matter Expert (SME) is the primary source of academic expertise for an asynchronous online course. The SME develops the primary course shell within the LMS. Before each term or subterm, the Office of Online Education coordinates with the Registrar in the course copy process to create copies of the primary course shell, which are assigned to online faculty and populated with online students. The timelines for changes to the primary course shell are driven by the course copy process, which starts four (4) weeks before the term/subterm in which the course is offered to students.
