What can an instructional designer do for you?
I listen and seek to understand the challenges you face as an instructor so I can design solutions. Then, I help customize those solutions so they can work with your unique teaching style.
Challenge: I only want to spend time redesigning a lesson if I know it will improve the student experience.
Solution: Embed an optional, anonymous survey at the end of each week in your course. This will allow you to gather feedback from students about what is confusing and what is working well. The resulting data can be used to drive improvements.
Instructional Design Service: I can help you embed surveys in your courses, review the responses, and implement data-driven improvements.
Challenge: It takes a prohibitively long time to create new tests and quizzes each semester.
Solution: Get students to do some of the heavy lifting.
Instructional Design Service: I can help you customize this strategy so it works for your courses.
Challenge: I have a hard time getting students to pay close attention to the lesson/lecture content.
Solution: We can wrap our content in comedy. According to research, humor increases social engagement and improves retention of information.
Instructional Design Service: I can create a comedy bit for your content so you can try this in your courses. Right Triangle Trigonometry Example
