Instructional Technology and Development
The Instructional Technology and Development team supports faculty in designing engaging online, hybrid, and traditional courses through consultation and creative services.
We employ data-driven instructional design strategies to help develop, launch, and enhance online, blended, and technology-enhanced face-to-face courses. Our team regularly tests new systems and software to identify effective technologies for creating accessible student learning experiences.
We provide workshops and consultations in technology course design and accessibility. Additionally, we assist instructors in producing video and media content for their courses and programs
