Curriculum Services

The Magellan team can help you develop programs that meet market needs, pique student interest, and graduate successful practitioners in their field. Magellan has deep experience with standing up new programs and refreshing existing ones to create a relevant, effective academic product.

You may not need to build an entire online program with numerous courses. We have built individual courses as well as hundreds of new courses for multiple online degree programs. Whether you need one course, five courses, or hundreds, Magellan will build to meet the given need.

Often, we are called upon to improve existing online content and take it to the next level. In such projects, our learning design team will assess the current offerings and put a plan and budget in place to improve the overall quality, effectiveness, and ascetics of the identified courses.

Magellan is often called upon to handle course transitions when a client institution makes the decision to move its online offerings to a different LMS. We have a comprehensive process that compensates for common weaknesses in the migration process.

Another key course-related service Magellan offers is taking your existing residential campus content and transitioning it to viable content for online delivery.

The Creative Media team will work alongside of you to transform your course curriculum into engaging educational graphical and video content tailored to your objectives, learning outcomes, and student engagement.

A key attribute of an effective and mature online program is uniformity. Magellan has helped many clients create course templates that enhance the student experience, drive student success, and capture the essence of the institution’s mission and vision.

Program and course review provide institutions with opportunities to take a high-level, strategic look at their programmatic structure and delivery, course offerings, and typical practices in course delivery. The Magellan team can help you develop and implement a plan to ensure that your institution’s programs and courses are accomplishing their intended outcomes.

Curriculum needs to function as a whole across a student’s lifespan in your program. The Magellan team can help you to map, evaluate, and take a deep dive into your curriculum to assure that you have designed a learning experience that helps students develop the skills, competencies, and attributes that you want your graduates to display. This involves analyzing how your curricular offerings scaffold (including general education or outside-program requirements), whether the assessments build in such a way as to show developing skill, whether your curriculum complies with all applicable laws and requirements, and whether your curriculum positions students for success.

Shipwright is a course development tool that helps faculty create and organize course content to include learning resources and learning activities.
