In this resource, we recommend specific visual, navigational, and assessment design choices and instructional technologies that make the course experience more intuitive, engaging, and functional for learners and instructors alike. Building to these guidelines will help you meet the expectations of the Faculty Observation Rubric in alignment with the Quality Faculty Plan.
