This book equips higher education professionals with a roadmap for the design, development and delivery of a successful online degree.

Responding to the evolving landscape of higher education, the text offers reflections and practical insights from staff who transformed a campus-based Humanities and Social Sciences degree into a ground-breaking online learning experience at an Australian university, contributing to a dynamic culture of interdisciplinary collaboration and continuing professional development. The chapters follow the development process of an online degree from inception to delivery. Taking an applied focus, they guide readers to anticipate and navigate challenges encountered in implementing curriculum change. The authors explore how to embed student-centred digital pedagogies, approaches taken to develop skills for staff and students, and thoughtful ways to integrate technology into learning and teaching whilst preserving the spirit and integrity of multiple academic disciplines. Alongside relational and strategic aspects of curriculum enhancement, the book offers practical case studies on implementing dynamic online learning to enhance the student experience.

This is an indispensable guide for educators, learning designers, higher education leaders, and professionals in higher education who are involved in supporting and enhancing online higher education programs.
