This resource distinguishes between the overarching structure of a course and the structure of individual modules, units, or weekly topics. It explains the importance of making structure explicit. Although focused on online course structure, the principles described and exemplified are common across most courses. The course models what it espouses throughout the text and provides numerous examples across several disciplines. The course is very well structured itself, with numerous visuals.

Ideas for CPD Interventions
The Pressbooks chapter acts like a mini course. It would be easy to reorganise it to be the material for a CPD workshop on course design. There are numerous examples to copy and\or use as templates for the design of a new course.
