Abstract

This paper explains how a graduate online course has been designed, redesigned and continuously refined in the last decade, applying the Quality Matters (QM) Framework and Universal Design for Learning Principles (UDL). To improve the course design, the course designers and instructors are engaged in a reflective process of examining relevant factors, including external contexts that demanded changes in the course, the course’s existing features, learner characteristics and needs, and the nature and requirements of the course content, activities, assessments. The paper provides detailed descriptions of the design process, as well as the modifications and changes made for the course over years and demonstrates how the design features adheres to the UDL principles.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
