Request World Campus Course Templates
If you are teaching a Resident Instruction (RI) version of a College of IST course, then you can request a copy of the World Campus (WC) course template for that course. Many of the courses that run in residence have an online WC version and while the format is different from the RI section, you may find useful elements that you can utilize. You can request templates by emailing LD@ist.psu.edu.
