SERVICE CATEGORIES
Instructional Design and Technology Consulting
Use technology to make your teaching and research activities more effective and efficient to promote student success. Whether you need self-paced learning that you can access from your computer or mobile device anytime, anywhere, or if you prefer more face-to-face, classroom-based instruction, our faculty training and development services can help you enhance your teaching and research profile.
Personal/individual Instructional Consulting:
Instructors interested in designing or reviewing their courses to help ensure alignment of their learning goals with their course activities can schedule an appointment with a member of our instructional design team to get personalized assistance in designing and building their course materials. We have certified Quality Matters (QM) reviewers on staff to help you integrate QM principles into your course or your entire curriculum. The delivery parameters for this service will vary depending on each customer's goal.
Drop-In Sessions:
Come to any of our drop-in sessions and ask questions, learn from the experts, or just come and work with an expert there to assist. We have drop-ins for Academic Technology Services where you can get assistance with D2L, instructional design, and technology tools.
