Develop Phase Develop eLearning object 1 min. of content = 1 hour of development time This estimate is affected by the elements listed at the bottom of this document Address accessibility and usability concerns	Review iterations of project and provide feedback Attend meetings as needed
Review and Implement Phase Test Publish Train faculty member how to place and migrate eLearning object	Assume the responsibility of managing eLearning objects in a Canvas course Set grading parameters Support students by providing instructions or tutorials on how to complete assignments associated with eLearning objects Serve as primary point of contact for students and relay any critical concerns to the lead instructional designer
Evaluation and Updates Phase Schedule evaluation meeting Respond to feature requests or bug reports (within regular business hours)	Keep log of feature requests or bugs Report incidents to lead instructional designer Prepare alternate activites in case of technical difficulties Provide feedback about process and product at the evaluation meeting (initiated by ID)
