Disposable assignments, on the other hand, are those that only the instructor and students will see and which students are likely to throw away once they have been graded (Seraphin et al., 2019<https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1475725718811711>; Wiley, 2013​<https://opencontent.org/blog/archives/2975>).​ Best, [logo gif] Urooj Nizami; MISt, MA (she/her) Open Education Strategist, KPU | Open Education Kwantlen Polytechnic University e urooj.nizami(a)kpu.ca<mailto:urooj.nizami(a)kpu.ca> w www.kpu.ca/open<http://www.kpu.ca/open> Subscribe to the KPU Open listserv here<https://lists.bccampus.ca/mailman/listinfo/openkpu> Kwantlen Polytechnic University ► Where thought meets action This e-mail and any attachments may be confidential or legally privileged.
