Instructional Designer & Students
When working on a project, the Students will work closely with ID to build and refine the content. Each project has a specific ID and a Student assigned to it, although you may be asked to assist on other projects as required.
Overall Project Information
Prior to the project being started, the ID and the Project Lead will create the book and set up meetings the the SME (Subject Matter Expert – faculty member).
Meetings & Communication
The First Meeting – The Project Lead, ID, and student will meet with the SME to start the direction of the project.
Weekly/Bi-Weekly Meetings – SMEs have the option of meeting with Studio Team Members weekly or bi-weekly. During these meetings, previously developed content will be shown so the SME can see the changes in Pressbooks. Small edits and changes can be made during the meeting, while the AI companion can be used to summarize larger tasks to be added to Asana.
Development Process
Step 1: Initial Sweep (ID)
- Check sources to confirm no copyright infringement. Send anything unsure of to Wilson.
- Fill in references and in-text citations.
- Check image sources and ensure source provided (tineye – reverse image search).
- Send graphics requests to the graphic designer.
- Make comments/suggestions about the design.
- Assign simple H5P requests.
Step 2: Build (Student)
- ID assigns the build of the chapter to the Student.
- Student uses Grammarly.
- Student adds attributions with modifications.
- Student adds in completed graphics with attributions.
- Student adds in design features.
- Student creates ancillaries.
Step 3: Chapter Completion Check (ID)
- ID reviews the chapter to see if anything needs attention. Use the checklist to confirm the chapter is complete.
- Chapter Completion Checklist
Step 4: Quality Assurance Check
- A second member of the ID team will complete the QA Check.

Task Division
| Task | Student | ID |
|---|---|---|
| Page Attributions | Open resource attributions using the attribution builder. Make notes of the modifications to the original content. | Confirm attributions & modifications |

| Ancillaries | Create summary/key terms and knowledge checks if required in AI. The content will be added to the chapter summary in Pressbooks for review by the faculty member. Once knowledge check questions are confirmed, the student can create the H5P. Simple quiz H5Ps. | ID to review summary, key terms, and basic H5Ps created by students.
More complex H5Ps will be done by IDs |
