Instructional Design

Improving online course design at IU

We work alongside instructors to help them:

  • Create learning outcomes
  • Develop activities and assessments
  • Organize the course to be intuitive for students
  • Design custom page formatting to present engaging content
  • Develop customized learner pathways

We help make courses more accessible by:

  • making use of universal design for learning principles, based on current regulations and available technologies
  • identifying and helping remedy unintended barriers to student learning

Types of projects

  • Creating standard 16-week, 8-week, and summer session length courses
  • Converting 16-week courses to 8-week courses

  • Developing online courses to prepare new faculty, students, and staff
  • Creating opportunities for co-curricular community-building and engagement

  • Creating online courses and assessments to ensure staff and faculty meet mandated guidelines
  • Streamlining data for better, easier tracking of student completions
