Written Assignment Best Practices Guide

Over the course of your teaching career, you may inherit an online course developed by another faculty member. While such a situation can offer many advantages, it can also provoke many questions and pose significant challenges.

This blog outlines a four-phase process that can lead to a successful transition.
