“Integrating Third Party Content into Your Online Course”

Whether building a new online course or enhancing an existing course, integrating content from third party sources can help create a more effective online learning experience. Third party content offers teachers access to online materials beyond the resources and content development expertise of most institutions or faculty. Online content can come from commercial vendors, educational non-profit organizations, a myriad of content repositories, public domain web sites, and colleagues. The content may be available for use on your institution’s servers, or may be required to reside on the servers of commercial vendors.

This session looks at sources of third party online content, strategies for evaluating materials, and practical, hands-on techniques for integrating all of these resources to make your courses more engaging and effective while giving you full control over the course content and instructional model you prefer. Specific examples from a wide range of content sources will be examined.
