# ¶ 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"](/handbook/digital-pedagogy/assignment-design/learning-outcomes.md) and ["Mode/Method/Tool Process"](/handbook/digital-pedagogy/assignment-design/mode-method-tool-process.md) 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.
