This guide will be used as an internal reference for creating and maintaining online learning objects, such as tutorials and instructional videos. The inventory will allow us to take stock of the content we have already created, making it easier to maintain and assess. It will also help us to see what can be reused or modified, rather than creating new content every time.

If you have an online learning object that you think should be created, but you're not sure where to start, contact Jen!
