NROC Network is a community of educators, administrators, technologists, and designers working together to develop high-quality, online content and instruction. The Network addresses the common need among educational institutions for quality online content and professional development of faculty and staff.

The NROC Network supports the collaborative development of online content with a "social authoring" model that maximizes the resources and talents of all the participants. The NROC editorial, design, and engineering teams works with author groups of Network members to plan syllabi, tables of content, and the presentation approach. The author teams produce content manuscripts, while the NROC teams manage the media and technical development. NROC Development Guidelines provide the framework for effective implementation of navigation, instructional design, media presentation, interactivity, assessment, and accessibility.

The document above details the processes, contributions, and roles of our social authoring approach to online content development.
