Weekly Agendas

One of the strategies I've decided to use for the course -- one that I always use in my face-to-face courses and really like -- is the weekly agenda. I like having a one-page document, or checklist, that spells out what needs to be done. The weekly agendas are pithy on purpose...the details are elsewhere (pointed to from the agenda). This means that learners have to click to other parts of the course to get the details, but it also means that multiple agendas can refer to the same assignment, and that assignment only needs to reside in one location (as opposed to being copied and pasted multiple times...which is then a nightmare if I need to make a change to the assignment).
