- Enrollment of 100+ students in very large sections or a large number of smaller sections;
- Identifiable academic problem or opportunity;
- Whole course redesign;
- Provision of significantly more active and learner-centered experience;
- Integration of educational technology;
- Assessment of mastery of learning; and
