With the increased number of counselor education programs moving online, it is imperative to meet the standards set by CACREP, the institutional academic policy, and students. Course development and design in an online environment should focus on course content and objective alignment with desired learning outcomes in order to promote a learning environment focused on content and not technology. Using the national "Best Practices" Model and the "Quality Matters Initiative" this program will give a foundation to faculty and chairs on how to build and evaluate quality online courses.
