Resources for Online Teaching
This site is intended to be a one-stop shop for your online teaching needs. Check out the tabs above for resources that will answer your questions, improve your online teaching, and familiarize you with various tools.
Our team can help you leverage technology to ensure that your courses are engaging and effective.
Course Organization
As courses grow and evolve over time, things can become a bit... messy. Outdated documents can pile up and assignments that are no longer being used can take up space. The general flow of the course can lose its organization. Our team can provide guidance with your overall organization and visual neatness. We can provide tips and best practices to help you maintain your course.
Instructional Design Projects
Have an idea for an e-learning or multimedia asset for your course? Let us know what you’re interested in creating! We will set up a meeting to discuss the scope and timeline of your proposed project, and determine how we can best meet your project needs and objectives.
Instructional Design Consultations
Interested in learning more about the possibilities for your course, but don’t know where to start? Request a one-on-one consultation with an instructional designer.
