This study analyzed the process through which 37 online courses were transformed using the three pillars course transformation method. The method advanced active learning and engaged learning in order to impact student success. The transformation process began with training of instructors on using the method booklet before they would continue by transforming their courses. During this transformation, instructors worked with an instructional designer assuming the role of a Higher Learning Commission Quality Initiative Project (HLC-QIP) consultant. The study analyzed the transformation process, focusing on the pedagogical support provided to course developers and the actual redesign process, benefits, and challenges.
