The Sustainability Checklist for Online Course Design assists primarily instructional designers and content experts in creating online courses that require minimal updates while ensuring long-term usability. It promotes reusable and flexible content to streamline updates, keeping courses relevant and easy to maintain across multiple semesters. While online programs are subject to a program review through the Office of Academic Reviews at the end of the 3rd cohort, this review should consider the sustainability checklist.
