This document outlines the internet course development process (ICDW) at a community college. It details the three prerequisites faculty must complete before the workshop: 1) complete Blackboard training series, 2) read the course development packet, and 3) submit an intent form. The workshop introduces concepts, models applications, and helps faculty apply strategies to their face-to-face courses for online delivery. It covers instructional design principles across six sessions with activities to design an entire online course. Upon completion, faculty receive a stipend and certificate.
