E. Mitchell's Navigate 3.1.2 – Creation and Investigation into Courses Quest

What were those steps? Is it important to follow these steps? 

Not too long ago I had to chance to work as a developer for a revised AP Psychology course.  Previously the course was more based on student reading and quizzes, with a few written assignments.  I worked as the content specialist to devise the material for the course.  I created new discussions, assignments, exams, as well as multimedia presentations for notes.  I worked closely alongside another individual who helped with the available features that Softchalk could provide---like flashcards, fill in the blanks, and matching--to serve as content checks.  I would zip a file with the desired content, assignments, as well as animations and videos, and they would place in the system.  I would then be able to check formatting, make sure all links were opening properly, as well as verify any copyright issues.  

It was definitely a tedious process that require the help of multiple people.  Checking along the way is necessary to ensure a correctly working final product; one misstep and the course will not be effective.
