URI Online: Program Development Process
Developing an online program for delivery through URI Online requires close collaboration with departments, faculty, campus partners and the URI Online team to ensure programs are academically rigorous, accessible, and competitive in the online marketplace.
The URI Online Program Development Handbook outlines the process of developing, launching, and maintaining an online program at URI.
The handbook provides:
- Step-by-step guidance on program planning, approval, and launch
- Roles and responsibilities of Program Directors, Faculty Developers, and URI Online
- Regulatory and accreditation requirements
- Resources and contacts for ongoing support
For an alternative view of the program development process, view the interactive Program Development Course developed in Rise360 or contact Heather Sharpes-Smith, Executive Director of URI Online.
