Consultations
Instructors who are teaching an online or hybrid course are invited to get a free consultation with an instructional designer to talk about their individual course. Instructional designers can help faculty members think through strategies for engaging their students, refashioning their assignments for a digital environment, and aligning their course with best practices for online courses.
Sign up for a consultation with an instructional designer.
Instructional designers also are available to complete a free quality review on online and hybrid courses. Quality reviews are based on TLT’s “The I Can Design for Online” resource, which is a set of guidelines for high-quality online courses derived from nationally recognized rubrics such as the quality matters rubric.
