Instructional Designers at the Office of Teaching and Learning are able to assist with course design across all modalities (face-to-face, technology/web-enhanced, hybrid, or online).

We are here to collaborate with you on the creation, facilitation, and evaluation of effective instructional approaches and meaningful learning experiences. We look forward to exploring innovative design solutions with you!
