Instructional Design Consultations
Our instructional designers provide consultative support to anyone developing courses for online, hybrid, or face-to-face settings.
Why is it important to work with an instructional designer?
Instructional design focuses on the student's needs and creates a positive learning experience, which contributes to the achievement of their learning goals. Instructional designers ensure students learn efficiently by helping instructors create high-quality learning materials and activities that take into account the varying backgrounds of all students.
Instructional design has contributed to the progression of higher education courses from lecture-based instruction to well-planned, effective learning experiences. CTLT instructional designers support faculty in adopting educational technology and implementing innovative, evidence-based teaching methods that improve student learning and a sense of belonging.
