This phase involves collecting data that may impact course design. The goal is to draft a syllabus that can be shared with the college and approved by stakeholders.
This stage can also be called Planning, Analysis, or Needs Analysis. There are three phases:
Analyze the course, the teaching/learning context, and learner characteristics.
Draft a syllabus that includes learning outcomes and summative assessments.
Obtain the required approvals.
Developers should contact cid@css.edu for design and development assistance, and build their Brightspace skills before developing a course.
Alignment in course design means that the outcomes, assessments, and activities all support one another. If one part of the triangle is absent or is not supportive of the other parts, the triangle will collapse or will look different than the intended triangle.

A syllabus is usually created toward the end of the design process to ensure that fundamental design elements, such as the intended outcomes, assessments, and learning activities are prioritized. However, a syllabus is needed for the approval process, so a draft syllabus is required before the course is fully designed.

Ideally, the syllabus would be fully formed before submitting it for approval, which means that the schedule includes activities and/or learning methods (e.g., readings, media, mini quizzes, 1-minute papers) so that the triangle is balanced.
