This document provides instructions for an assignment to develop an online learning module. Students are asked to create an online module using the instructional unit they previously developed. The online module must include: an introduction, objectives, content organized into segments using various technologies and strategies, assessments with rubrics, a formative evaluation plan and at least three peer evaluations, and a reflective paper on developing the module and possibilities for improvement. Students will submit their original instructional unit, the online module URL, formative evaluation, peer evaluations, and reflection for evaluation.

2. Reflection: Write a reflection of the module that you developed. Specifically
a. Reflect on the development of the online learning unit that you created.
b. Based on the data that was developed as part of the evaluation process, describe
how you the online course that you developed could be improved.
IV. Developed Online Module
Online Module is to be developed using a Web Authoring Program such as Weebly,
Wix, or Google Sites. This site should be used only for the Online Module. (Do not
include this module as part of your Course Repository)
