Coordinating and designing courses are key responsibilities of course coordinators at UQ. In addition to discipline expertise, successful coodination is based on knowledge of curriculum design principles and familiarity with the UQ educational context.

It is suitable for those new to the Course Coordinator role and also to experienced coordinators new to UQ. The course does not address adminisrative aspects such as approval processes or uploading of grades.

3. consider ways of using the Electronic Course Profile to support effective course design and communication of course intentions and requirements to students
