Prepare Materials for Electronic Delivery

For many instructors the most difficult task in developing web-based courses is the preparation of materials for electronic delivery. This task includes scanning graphics; creating the syllabus, lessons, activities, lectures, and exams in a word processor; creating slides in presentation software; aligning objectives, learner outcomes, and lesson activities with instruction and assessment; and developing all of the content as web pages.
