NEXT STEPS, QUESTIONS AND LESSONS LEARNED

58

The Model Sustainable Development Code Lives!!

❖ What should be process for going “live” from student work to web, how many levels of vetting? ❖ Good learning experience for students? Appears to be “yes” ❖ As more best practices get added, organization & navigation are key ❖ One description with unique references per best practice works well ❖ One page good length for summary, but may offer chance to drill down further for complex best practices
