Starting with Why: An Example D2L "Template" for Math and Science Courses

Start with why. Students notice why we do things. And if our whys and wherefores are crystal-clear to ourselves, we can implement with purpose and the results will be as intended.


This document makes an initial attempt to justify the key components of a Math or Science D2L course based on the function each component needs to fulfill:


One reason for a functional D2L template is that ATOL and RTOL need to satisfy Essential Quality Standards 2.0 requirements from eCampusAlberta:

I’m not saying this is necessarily the only or best way of doing things: this is just one way among many. The main thing is that when the final “template” is designed, each component will have a clear, non-overlapping rationale. The final template will be determined by the curriculum leads and coordinator.
