Instructional Design Services Available from ITS

The Instructional Support Team of ITS is pleased to provide Instructional Design services to faculty as they plan for their summer and fall courses. Instructional Design results in the creation of effective instructional experiences and materials based on a specific set of learning objectives.

Individualized services are available to faculty as they develop and design new courses, or re-design and adapt existing ones. Assistance is available for all courses with a Canvas instance, whether they are delivered online or in person. Areas of focus include but are not limited to course structure, navigation, content placement, and organization.

To schedule an initial discussion and needs assessment, please contact Meghanne Freivald.
