Is a DDLA required for all online course development?

Yes. A signed DDLA document is required for ALL new online course development and extensive revision of existing online courses. To maintain accurate records of the status of all online course offerings, the form is required for courses for which compensation is being provided and also for courses for which no compensation is provided.

  • A new online course is defined as either not previously offered in the KSU course catalog or an existing face-to-face course being offered online for the first time.
  • An extensive course revision of an existing online course normally involves changes equal to or greater than 50% of the course learning materials, or substantial changes to course structure, course goals, and/or learning outcomes, such that the essential nature of the course is changed.
  • Faculty members should consult with their department chair/school director and/or college dean, as applicable, to determine when a revision of an online course is considered extensive before the revision of an online course begins.
