Mission Statement

Our mission is to promote Rawls students' online engagement and success by empowering Rawls faculty to design and deliver high-quality, effective courses. We do this by providing faculty guidance, tools, and strategies to leverage their distinctive teaching styles.

Instructional Design

By collaborating with our instructional designers, we can help you develop well-planned, quality online courses. Starting the collaboration process early is key to success.

Video Studios

With three video studio options, we can help you create innovative and captivating videos that enhance your lecture content. Course videos can boost students’ understanding, engagement, and motivation to learn.

The Production Studio is used to create high-quality videos that incorporate various elements such as images, motion graphics, and sound. Our instructional designers will guide you through the entire production process, including storyboarding, selecting text and graphics, studio sessions, and multiple rounds of video edits. This comprehensive process requires close collaboration and an early start to ensure your videos are exactly how you envision them before your target semester begins.

Rawls College faculty have access to the Express Studio, which is equipped with studio lighting, a high-definition camera, a quality microphone, a backdrop and a desktop computer. Additionally, a document camera and drawing pad are available for your use. This studio is available to be reserved to record your speaking audio, computer monitor, document camera, and writing tablet input. During their first recording session in the Express Studio, faculty receive training to independently record and complete video editing.

Introducing our latest offering: the Mobile Studio. We will transform your office into a professional recording space, complete with studio lighting, a high-definition camera, a quality microphone, and a backdrop to record your lectures conveniently from your office. Additionally, a document camera and drawing pad are available for your use. You will receive training in how to operate the equipment and recording software if needed.

Blackboard Technical Support

We are familiar with the Blackboard learning management system and are ready to assist faculty, instructors, and teaching assistants/grads with questions. Our team does not offer student support. Students can access the Blackboard student support page for resources and personalized technical help.

Online Accessibility Review & Course Evaluations

We support accessible online content and quality online course design. To assist faculty with their online course design efforts, we strongly encourage faculty to submit their online courses for review.

Faculty will be encouraged to collaborate with our team to develop a process to correct findings and make adjustments to their course.

All course materials, including documents, videos, websites, etc., are evaluated to ensure a high level of accessibility throughout your course. Most commonly, full online courses are evaluated according to the Online Course Accessibility Guidelines.

An Accessibility Review can be requested by completing the Texas Tech eLearning Accessibility Evaluation form.

An Accessibility Review must be complete and all issues resolved before requesting an Online Course Evaluation.
