Discussions

The Discussion Board in Brightspace is used to build peer-to-peer discussion assignments. Discussions may not be used in unfacilitated rolling-enrollment courses.

Course Structure

Michigan Virtual courses and lessons should be created with the CourseArc Master Template. When assigned to a course development project, your project manager will create and set up the CourseArc course for you.

Boilerplates

Boilerplate templates may be used to ensure consistency or apply saved HTML/CSS code to a page. Standard iPD guidelines regarding icons, formatting, font, etc. should still be adhered to in templates.

Recommended Content Types

Before creating an H5P, check H5Ps content type recommendations page and only use content types that are accessible, maintained by the core team, have full browser support, and are scorable (if required). The Essay content block is the only exception to this rule. For courses that are built in CourseArc, always use the CourseArc version of a content type if available unless the H5P version offers relevant features that are not available in CourseArc
