Step 1 - Review the fields and help text for the course creation form
Background:
Legend to the following text:
- Text in italics is help text that is displayed on the form.
- [Text in brackets represents an input field]
Currently the sign up form looks like this:
Name:
[Coursename]
Summary:
Give a summary of the course. Week by week.
[Summary]
Prerequisites
[Prerequisites]
Sign Up Requirement:
[Sign Up Requirement]
No of Seats:
[No of seats]
Proposed new version of the sign-up form:
Name of the course
Please keep it short and snappy (under 30 characters). A short description of the course (see below) will accompany the name almost anywhere it shows up.
[Coursename]
Short description
Think of this as a tweet describing the course (you get a little more space than twitter gives you) -> 200 characters. It's best framed as a question!
[Short description]
Summary:
Provide an overview of what you plan to cover, mention a few of the key questions, maybe some of the main thinkers and authors you plan to use, and anything about the structure and collaboration that might be interesting to potential participants.
[Summary]
Audience / Prerequisites:
What is the main audience for this course and what prerequisites should they have?
[Prerequisites]
Sign Up TASK:
Please outline a short assignment that users have to complete when they sign-up for your course. This should give an indication of the work load required in the course - and the types of things users will be doing. Don't make it too easy - but don't make it too hard either.
[Sign Up Requirement]
No of Seats:
How many people would you like to have in the course? You can always accept more or fewer later if you get very few or very many excellent sign-ups.
[No of seats]
PS: Not sure this is feasible but would be nice:
Course Photo:
Upload a photo that will be displayed on your course home page
About the Facilitator:
A little bit about yourself and your background/motives for running this course.
[About the facilitator]
Step 2 - Wireframe
Once we have done the above, we need to make sure that these fields are also reflected on the course home page. Please update / edit the following wireframe:
