As we return to face-to-face instruction, we want to remind you that the eLearning Instructional Design team is here to support you in your online and hybrid teaching efforts.
Our services include design consultations, training, video production, and course quality certification. We offer services on an individual basis and can also provide group and specialized training. You can find a full list of services and support articles by visiting Faculty and Staff Services.
For additional support, you can request our services by contacting us via email at Instructional Design or Video Production.
