Online MBA Course Shell

Ruth developed this Moodle course shell to support the launch of the Jenkins Online MBA program at NC State University, with the goal of creating a consistent and high-quality learning experience across all courses in the program. The shell served as both a visual and pedagogical foundation, ensuring alignment with instructional best practices and the university’s brand standards.

The course shell includes a comprehensive set of instructional and design templates, covering key components such as module structure, learning objectives, content presentation, and assessment strategies. It also features curated examples of assignments, discussion prompts, and instructional materials drawn from existing courses—giving instructors a clear and practical starting point for building their own content.

Designed for ease of use, the shell could be imported directly into individual course spaces, allowing faculty to adapt and customize while maintaining consistency across the broader program. This scalable solution helped streamline course development, support faculty onboarding, and elevate the overall learner experience in the Jenkins Online MBA.
