Here we provided detailed guidance for the use of technology to support the management or delivery of taught courses. These workflows include recommended approaches and should be used as part of your planning for deployment. They also provide guidance for day-to-day operations. How-to guides for the specific tools mentioned in these workflows are provided through our Guide Search.
