Using an Evolving Electronic Stylebook as a Touchstone for Online Learning Project Management

Abstract

For complex instructional design projects, having an evolving electronic stylebook offers a critical advantage in terms of organizing the work for quality and shared understandings. A stylebook may serve as a touchstone, a test, or criterion for the quality of a thing, because it is the documentary record for online learning projects. This chapter addresses the main contents of such an electronic stylebook and the criticality for the evolution of this work as the project parameters change.
