How to design and develop a course

Herewith the steps I planned for designing and developing a new course from scratch:

Step 1: determine the name of the new course based on the needs of discipline core, PEOs and PLOs.
Step 2: brainstorm to generate 5 types of knowledge for the course
Step 3: based on the knowledge types, propose 3 to 4 CLOs.
Step 4: For each CLO, conduct hierarchical analysis to identify all ELOs and TLOs required for mastering knowledge and skills.
Step 5: Select and trim the hierarchies of all CLOs to form the course content outline and subtopics
Step 6: Set appropriate continuous and final assessments
Step 7: Include special requirements or resources to deliver the course
Step 8: Include latest references
Step 9: Compose the Synopsis of the course
Step 10: Name an academic staff for the course
