Collaborative course design in design teams is reported as a promising professional development strategy. This study explored the potential of this strategy in preparing instructors on how to redesign their traditional print-based courses and deliver them using e-learning technologies at the Open University of Tanzania (OUT). Three instructors from the Institute of Continuing Education (ICE) at OUT worked in a design team and were supported on how to transform their courses. A sample of 67 Foundation course students from ICE was invited to study in an e-learning environment through offline Moodle learning management system (supported by e-mail and mobile phones) for a period of three months. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from instructors and students. This contribution discusses experiences of instructors on collaborative course redesign in a design team and presents students experiences with the redesigned e-learning courses.
