Good Morning Developers,

Welcome to the start of the Fall Quarter Development cycle! I appreciate your assistance in working on course development and I look forward to working with each of you. I am currently filling in for Amy Ode, the Online Curriculum Manager, while she is on maternity leave. She will be returning the beginning of July, so during this development cycle you will be working with each of us at some point. Please don't hesitate to contact either of us with questions at any time.

Each week you will receive a link to this development blog that will share updates, reminders, and resources with you. This is designed for you, so if there is a resource you'd like to learn more about but it hasn't been covered in a blog, please let us know. You'll also notice that on the right side of the blog page there are links to various resource topics discussed in previous blog postings. Please check these great resources out an implement these various techniques in your course developments.

Once again the time line for this round of developments is as follows:
June 8 - 25% completion
June 29 - 50% completion
July 20 - 75% completion
August 10 - 100% completion
August 10-31 - Implement peer advising suggestions/changes

You should all have access to your course shells, if you do not, please let me know so that I can make sure everything is set for you to begin your development(s).

Have a great week and let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Heather
