[for checklists: expand each item in the list to link to subpage]

Conduct a Pre-Edit

Confirm with Brian (editing co-ordinator) the following:

  • Issue (course) has been entered in JIRA[link] and assigned

Discuss and verify with the instructional designer, course lead, SME, or course writer the following:

  • Scope of edit: this may change as editing proceeds and may differ from information captured in JIRA
  • How to handle URLs: for example, as weblinks with author/originator stated, title of resource in bold font, URL provided, instructions to Production
  • What citation style is to be used

Verify with the curriculum assistant the following:

  • Details of the textbook(s) (name, author, edition); companion website; and other resources
  • Editor's access to the resources

Set up a style sheet:

  • Either set up a new style sheet or get one from the previous editor
  • Log in to Blackboard Learn[link] and note in the style sheet choices already made for the course

During Edit [this heading will change]

Use JIRA

  1. Log work. If there are two MODs (methods of delivery), log work under each one.
  2. Enter comments for top-level information (from which an editing memo can be made) on the main page.
  3. Enter comments for granular information under the log work page.
