Please contact Aura Lippincott, instructional designer at 203-837-3287 or email lippincotta@wcsu.edu
What kind of assistance can I expect?
Instructional design consulting engagements range from offering occasional suggestions and guidance to fully collaborating in the instructional design process (from course goals/outcomes, writing learning objectives, designing assessments and activities, procuring/developing instructional material (including media), identifying appropriate instructional technology; and technical consultation for the final course build.
How long does it generally take to design or redesign a course?
A good rule of thumb is to start your project 3-6 months in advance of when you are scheduled to teach the course. 听While this may seem like a lot, it allows time to discuss course goals, brainstorm strategies, design the learning experience, draft/feedback/revise, and build the course in Blackboard. 听It also allows for time to produce or procure any necessary media and instructional materials. Lastly, this timeframe assumes that you are engaged in other activities while you are working on your course design. If you are primarily听devoted to your course design project or if your project is a partial design, a shorter schedule is possible. 听Early in the consultation, the instructional听designer will discuss a reasonable schedule that meets your teaching needs.
