esOmate course development Ome. However, these esOmates are based on such things as: l ConsultaOon Time l Course ObjecOves l Lectures l Assessments l Assignments l SpecializaOons l Blackboard capability l Faculty comfort with technology l StandardizaOon of development
l AddiOonal Ome will be required to ensure that the course meets the standards and quality l Analyze learners to target course content l Design and tesOng of exercises to
evaluate performance l Development of course materials within
the learning management plakorm l Outlining and determining best structure
and flow of course l SelecOng the most appropriate
instrucOonal methods

l Quality of source photo/need for supplemental material
l Depth of manipulaOon needs l Background replacement 1 hr. l Simple retouch 1 hr. l Facial retouch 1-‐2 hours. l Merging/adding/removing object 1-‐4 hours per object

HOW YOU CAN HELP MAKE THIS PROCESS MORE EFFECTIVE
