Utah State University
Abstract
Given the consequential need for colleges throughout the world to move classes online amid the spread of COVID-19 in 2019-2020, there is a growing call for higher-educational bodies to launch high-quality online classes that allow students to pursue their education as part of a successful risk management strategy. Thus, more than ever, guidance is needed on how to design an online class successfully. Drawing on the design of an asynchronous Digital Marketing online class, this article discusses strategic decisions regarding content creation, personalization, assignments, and assessment ideas that may hold the potential to increase students’ engagement in an online class. The insights provided may be relevant and applicable to instructors tasked with teaching online. They will be of interest to a largely academic audience from various backgrounds. Detailed directions on how to replicate the procedures in order to design online classes successfully are illustrated.
