Introduction

This Canvas Community provides course details, rationale and context for the several sections, assignments and activities included in this course. 

We are utilizing McGraw-Hill Connect assignments that are embedded in the course and deep linked to World Classroom to promote active learning engagement in the course.

These activities allow us to determine individual student performance and the creation of an individual development plan, IDP. 
We are using the UBER case study that flows through the entire course from week one to week nine.
