A Technologies in Education Consultant is available for projects that involve planning for, designing, and delivering F2F, online and blended courses. These projects might involve a whole program or just one course.
So why should you come to us when you can simply build your own course? Building a course on your own is of course possible, but is like going to a web tool to build a poster on your own, as opposed to going to a graphic designer to build a brand. Coming to our experienced educational learning consultant means building your course with the confidence that learning design principles will be considered to maximize the student learning experience, and help you consider different pedagogies and to simplify the process for you.
A consultant can also simply provide feedback on the course design elements of an eClass Moodle or Canvas course to help maximize student learning. It can encompass the entire instructional design process or be limited to just one or a few components including:
Performing needs analysis for the course/program
Developing a timeline for development process
Identifying resources required
Articulating outcomes
Identifying and developing assessment strategies
Chunking content
Developing instructional strategies
Collecting formative and summative feedback on the course design
Developing materials
Creating multimedia learning objects
Arranging and overseeing the building of the eClass course
Training on using the tools needed to teach the course
Coaching and support for facilitating online discussion/activities
Providing ongoing support throughout the term
