What+this+project+is+not.


 * Is this about Mandated Curriculum?**
 * **No**. This project is __not__ about forcing anyone to use the courses or instructional materials.
 * This project is __not__ about creating "canned courses."
 * The courses will be digital and modular __so__ faculty can slice and dice them, remix / modify them, take the pieces they want to use - or ignore them.
 * The hope is the products will be useful both to faculty and to students.


 * Is this part of Common Course Numbering?**
 * **No.** Most of the 81 courses __are__ common course numbered courses, though they were __not__ selected for that reason. The courses were selected because they are the highest enrolled courses... we also tried to keep series of courses together - e.g., Calculus I, II, III.


 * Is this about expanding eLearning?**
 * **No.** The courses will be digital .. so faculty can use them in whole or in part (or not at all) in any learning space.
 * That said, the finished digital courses could certainly be offered as web-enhanced, hybrid and/or online courses.


 * Am I forced to participate in this project?**
 * **No.** This is a competitive grant … and completely optional.


 * When the courses are released and I want to use part of all of the course, do I have to use the <$30 instructional materials?**
 * **No.** You could, if you wanted to, use parts of the course but not the <$30 instructional materials, and instead assign a $150 textbook.
