Specifications include, but are not limited to: Delaware State University (DSU) seeks instructional design and subject matter expertise to build up to 100 online courses in support of fully online programs in leadership studies, public health, education, marketing, finance, real estate, human resource management, nursing, cyber security, and social work. We will need both undergraduate and graduate courses developed. The courses are typically 8 weeks in durations. The primary engagement would be for a vendor to provide instructional design expertise in partnership with internal subject matter experts (SMEs) provided by DSU, to build completed online courses ready for delivery and instruction through our learning management system, Blackboard Anthology. DSU also wishes to contract with a vendor who has the capability of providing SMEs who are degree and experience qualified to provide content material in the case that DSU does not have a SME available for a particular course within the listed online program areas. DSU’s Office of Distance Education and Learning Technologies (ODELT) will oversee the course development project and work in partnership with the vendor to produce completed courses suitable for online delivery. The goal is to provide a consistent and engaging online experience for students. The vendor will migrate the DSU supplied (or vendor supplied SME content) into our Anthology Blackboard Learn system, and will add public domain, royaltyfree images where appropriate. The vendor will provide quality review for each course, ensuring that courses meet DSU standards, and verifying that web links can be accessed and are working at the time of review, and that content is displayed properly on both Mac and PC platforms running the latest versions of Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Microsoft Edge. The courses to be developed are traditional academic course work leading to certificates, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in the above cited subject areas. Any materials developed would be based on our specifications as indicated in the course syllabus. If the subject matter expert has readily available course material compatible with our specifications, that material would become property of Delaware State University (DSU) along with the completed course. DSU will maintain Master copies of all courses developed
