Hello Developers!

Next Monday marks the 75% completion date for this development round and I look forward to going into your courses to check the progress. It is also time to begin thinking about the 10-week master shells.

As you all know, you first develop your courses in a 12 unit format and then I will copy the course into a 10 unit shell and you will need to convert the content to be delivered in 10 weeks instead of 12 weeks. Amy Ode put together several trainings that go over how to combine this information. Please view each of the Jing presentations below to learn more about how to convert your course to a 10 unit layout. I hope you find these trainings useful and helpful! And if you have any questions on any of this, please let me know.

You will not need to do this until after your 12 week course is developed, but there are quite a few videos so I wanted to give you some time to look through them.

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