Course Build Quality Criteria

This document outlines essential course content requirements, as well as highlighting additional features that make a great course on FutureLearn. There is a PDF version to download at the bottom of this article.

These requirements are broken down into:

• Must have
• Should have
• Great to have

Touch Points:
Your learning designer is on hand to offer one round of feedback during your course design process. We recommend taking advantage of this before you get too far into your build to enable you to make any changes sooner rather than later.

Course Templates:
We have a number of course outline templates you can use, which set out the breakdown of activities and steps for you to add your content to.

Each template is for a four-week course, approximately 3-4 hours learning time per week and includes:

• Course boilerplate (week, activity and step titles)
• Guidance and suggestions within each step
• Preloaded placeholder media (images, audio, video)
