Meet the Team

Our Learning Design team is available to collaborate with you on solutions for your teaching challenges. We can work with you to design and develop courses, assignments, assessments and more. We will work in a holistic manner, integrating teaching with technology, streamlining your workload and increasing engagement for students.

For example, do you want your students to be able to give each other feedback on their practice presentations without taking up class time? A learning designer can help you integrate a VoiceThread activity in which students record themselves giving their practice talk, allowing the instructor and other students to leave time-stamped feedback on their recording.
