A case study in curriculum development

As the sports gambling industry rapidly evolves, the need for comprehensive education and training in this emerging market has never been greater. Recognizing this, Ohio University, a leader in sports administration, partnered with U.S. Integrity, the nation’s foremost expert in sports betting integrity, and Cyanna Education Services to create one of the nation’s first online educational programs focused on legalized sports gambling.

A New Challenge in the Market

With the legalization of sports gambling across various states, stakeholders across the industry—from coaches and administrators to regulators and operators—needed a structured way to learn about the complexities of this new market. The challenge was to develop a curriculum that not only covered the legal and regulatory aspects of sports gambling but also ensured that it was accessible and engaging for a wide range of learners.

Ohio University and U.S. Integrity required a partner with deep expertise in online education and compliance to build a program that could address these needs. Cyanna Education Services was brought on board to collaborate on curriculum development and provide the technological infrastructure needed to deliver the program online.

Cyanna’s Comprehensive Solution

Cyanna’s role was pivotal in turning the vision of a comprehensive sports gambling education program into reality. The process included:

• Partnering with Subject Matter Experts: Cyanna collaborated closely with Ohio University’s renowned Master of Sports Administration (MSA) program and U.S. Integrity to develop the curriculum. Leveraging the expertise of these partners, Cyanna ensured that the course content was both authoritative and relevant to the current and future landscape of sports gambling.
• Curriculum Development: Cyanna’s team of instructional designers and compliance experts worked to create a curriculum that covers every critical aspect of sports gambling, from regulatory compliance to integrity monitoring. The curriculum was designed to cater to all levels of stakeholders, ensuring that each participant, regardless of their background, would gain a comprehensive understanding of the industry.
• Incorporation of the EDlumina Platform: To deliver the course effectively, Cyanna utilized its proprietary online education platform, EDlumina Catalog. This platform allowed the Sports Gambling Education program to offer asynchronous online courses that learners could access at their own pace, from anywhere in the world. The platform’s features, such as high-quality video lectures, interactive assessments, and downloadable resources, enhanced the learning experience and ensured that students could engage deeply with the material.

The Sports Gambling Education program was successfully launched and quickly became one of the leading educational resources in the industry. Participants across the sports gambling ecosystem, from regulators to sports administrators, have praised the program for its thoroughness and relevance.

Ohio University’s partnership with U.S. Integrity and Cyanna Education Services resulted in a program that not only educates but also empowers stakeholders to navigate the complexities of the sports gambling market with confidence and integrity.
