Hello Developers and Happy Monday!

Hard to believe it's August already - I hope you're enjoying these hot summer days....the crisp fall air will be here before we know it!

Those of you developing brand new courses....Today we begin our last week of development - your courses are due to be completed (and ready for peer review) a week from today: Monday, August 9. If you are having any last minute problems with your development, please contact me sooner rather than later...I'll do all I can to help!

Those of you working on redevelopments (lifecycle updates, book changes, edition changes), welcome to the Course Development blog. If you haven't been here before, this blog is aimed at providing development resources and communication regarding online course development here at GEN. Over the years, Amy and Heather have compiled some fantastic resources for developers...I've been adding to the blog for the past quarter and will continue to do so in my role as Manager of Online Course Development. Feel free to use the topics on the right to explore the blog.

I'm going to keep the topic pretty straight forward this week, since I would like all of you focusing on getting a good start (redevelopers) and making a strong finish (new course developers) on your development work: please take time this week to review the Course Development Checklist to ensure that your course is in tip-top shape...ready for peer review and, ultimately, ready for students. Redevelopers, this checklist will come in handy as make changes within your courses - you won't necessarily be checking all these items off, but being familiar with the checklist will help you keep your course order and make any needed updates to the layout/organization of the course material.

If you have any questions, please let me know. Have a great week!

Kelly
