[ARCHIVED] Best Practices for Managing Course Changes

[jcarter1]

I work in a very small university where we don't have a dedicated Canvas support structure. I am part of a course building department that works with the academic departments to develop courses in Canvas. I'm in search of Best Practices in how this process of changing courses is managed (we don't give teachers admin-level permissions. Course changes must be vetted through our department, which is staffed with experienced PhD's who coordinate course development with faculty but are not part of that faculty). It presents some challenges for managing the requests for changes as we gain experience and receive more data from our students and faculty. Before this job, whatever LMS I used, I was the sole proprietor of all the content and its organization but that's not the case here so any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

 @jcarter1 ‌, this is a duplicate post of Best Practices in Course Changes (in the Instructional Designers‌ group). Did you know that you can share a post in more than one Community space? Rather than creating two copies with differing comment threads, you can create your post and then use the Share link in the upper right to share it into additional spaces. For example, because you are a member of the Instructional Designers group, you can start the discussion there, and then share it into the Higher Education group, or to any group of which you are a member. Using the Share method allows us to consolidate resources, as it keeps all of the comments in a unified thread that is accessible to a larger audience.

With that said, so that we can keep responses consolidated, I'm going to ask people to direct their responses to the above-linked resource, which has been shared to this space, and I'm locking this question for additional participation.
