· 140 days before the intended semester it is offered is the
last day to deliver the IMIC Contract for Development of Online
Courses to the IMIC.
· 130 days before the intended semester it is offered is the
last day to request a WebCT account (shell) from the IMIC and to
begin development.
· 120 days before the intended semester it is offered is the
last day to turn in content to the IMIC for Basic
Level development contracts.
Materials and content turned in after these deadlines (depending on
amount) may or may not be accepted. The IMIC development services are
scheduled to assist several instructors at the same time but under
a “first
come first serve” (FCFS) order. Delays in receiving content will
result in the loss of FCFS course development status and may result
in cancellation of the course being offered.
*Note: It takes an average of 200 hours to develop a course once the
content is delivered to the IMIC.
· 80-70 days prior all courses in the development process will
be checked for status. Courses not nearing completion run the risk
of development/compensation level reduction and or cancellation until
the following semester.
· 60 days before the semester,
all non-Basic and Update Level courses (that are intended to be offered)
must be completed. Delays will result in the cancellation of the
course for that semester.
During the 60-31 day countdown period the IMIC will perform the quality
control process and compare the course to the IMIC Best Practices.
See Addendum 7 for a sample and explianation of the Preflight Checklist.
The IMIC will cease all development services on the 30th countdown day.
This period is reserved for staff support preparation for the upcoming
semester.
