Johnson (1990) has compiled a list of components for course objectives that may be useful. The caveat is that the objectives should accurately reflect the course, the instructor , and the needs of students. According to Johnson, "course objectives should consist of explicit statements about the ways in which students are expected to change as a result of your teaching and the course activities. These should include changes in thinking skills, feelings, and actions" (p. 3).

Course Objectives:
- Introduce the fundamental concepts and basic theory of Org. Development & Change Mgmt and - To develop managerial knowledge, skills and attitudes to be combined with IT knowledge to carry OD&C effectively and efficiently. - Making learning more relevant to all types of learners. Specifically it enables the students to be able to: - Appreciate the importance of OD as a processes in implementing real positive org. CANGE, - Differentiate an OD-Change from other traditional changes, - Discuss various topics, subjects, concepts, and theories pertaining to IT-enabled Change through OD. - To facilitate learning. following Learner Created Content method. - To encourage learners to assume responsibility for their own learning, work towards becoming Life-Long-Learners, - To provide our students with the opportunity to use web 2.0 technologies, towards more collaborative team working, as team member will take turn authoring, leading daily in class activities and presenting course subject, - To help improve student multiple skills: 1.

___ **Delivery **___ (Socially Interactive Participation in Meaning Making) This course will adapt an educational philosophy and method of delivery that shifts the course activities towards learning and learners centered activities to meet the learners' learning needs. the course method of delivery is not to cover a premeditated, predefined limited blocks of material thought to be needed by the instructor to be delivered to the learner in certain period of time. We believe that the Learner Created Content ** LCC ** approach will provide the learners with the opportunity to be responsible to identify and meet their learning needs by working collaboratively in groups to create the the required value.

The diverse course subjects will produce levels of anxiety among students which I anticipate to deal with by providing guidance, and lots of mutual support in more open relation; moreover, at the end of the semester, the student will have to plan and conduct a workshop to present their work. We will also follow a similarly creative assessment measures to assess the learners work.There will only be a : ===Assessment: please check the criteria for success ... The Rubric ===
