# ΒΆ Assignment Design Digital pedagogy assignments can be stand-alone components of a course or be complementary or supplementary to more traditional coursework. Assignments may be digital in origin or begin as a traditional assignment such as a paper and then be moved into a digital format. In the case of the latter, students are given the opportunity to learn about translation, be it the act of translating a paper into a digital project and/or translating academic writing and content for the general public. The two sections ["Learning Outcomes"](https://bcds.gitbook.io/handbook/digital-pedagogy/assignment-design/learning-outcomes) and ["Mode/Method/Tool Process"](https://bcds.gitbook.io/handbook/digital-pedagogy/assignment-design/mode-method-tool-process) will assist with assignment design. The second section is especially useful if you do not know the method(s) and tool(s) you want to use. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
