Instructional Design
What is Instructional Design?
Instructional Designers support faculty to integrate active learning, apply research-based best practices for course design, facilitation, equitable teaching practices, and ways to implement educational technologies effectively.
We are a resource for you as you re-think, design or redesign your courses to meet the needs of students and the outcomes of your course or program.

We can:
- Assist with curriculum or equitable grading strategies
- Collaborate on rethinking your syllabus & designing your course
- Explore new teaching methods
- Help incorporate best practices on course design, active learning, and accessible teaching
- Advise on making your Canvas design visually appealing and cohesive
- Support the use of educational technology in the context of your course content, cohort and teaching style
- Offer input on multimedia and course content design principles to optimize student learning and engagement
See our Showcase for inspiration or our Newsletters for ideas!
