Instructional Design Services
Overview
The Office of Lifelong Learning offers Instructional Design services for the TWU community. Services include: distance education faculty development sessions, individual faculty consultation, planning, development, and limited production for distance courses, and sponsorship of innovation and other projects.
Faculty Development Sessions
The Office of Lifelong Learning offers faculty development sessions on issues related to distance education. These sessions are available for viewing at each campus. Information on these sessions is posted at the beginning of each semester. http://www.twu.edu/dl/faculty/development.htm
Consultation
Instructional design staff members work with individual faculty members to answer questions around distance instruction. These consultations are valuable to plan course development or to discuss ways to incorporate new technologies or strategies into existing course materials.
Instructional Design Services
Instructional designers assist and support distance faculty to develop pedagogically sound strategies and materials for distance courses. Instructional designers are available to help faculty members plan their distance course and to suggest pedagogical strategies and technologies to impact student learning.
Distance education employs some of the same instructional methods as traditional delivery but there are key differences. Our role is to showcase best practices and provide support to help faculty understand these key differences. Instructional designers can assist faculty to plan distance courses or materials to take advantage of the strengths of the online environment. Limited production services are available to allow faculty to create content while instructional designers upload materials to distance courses.
