Specifications include, but are not limited to: Delaware State University (DSU) seeks instructional design and subject matter expertise to build up to 50 online courses in support of fully online programs in psychology, general management, accounting, public health, and criminal justice. 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. 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 Blackboard Learn system, and will add public domain, royalty free 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 Internet Explorer.
