- Consult with the Center for Teaching and Learning or the Online Learning Team (for online classes) regarding practices learned and plans for implementation*
- Develop a plan to enhance or redesign an aspect of an existing course or create a new course at Kent State (such as implementing a new teaching/learning or assessment strategy)
- Reflect on the plan (potential challenges, potential impacts on students)
