Instructional Design
What is instructional design?
Instructional Designers collaborate with faculty to incorporate active learning strategies, utilize evidence-based approaches for course development and delivery, promote inclusive teaching methods, and effectively integrate educational technologies.
We serve as a resource to assist you in reimagining, creating, or updating your courses to align with student needs and your course or program goals.
