Welcome to the Instructional Design Center
The IT Instructional Design Center (IDC) offers instructional design service that pairs instructors with an instructional designer (ID) and an academic technologist (AT) to enhance course development. The IDs focus on pedagogical strategies, course design, and accessibility, while ATs assist with the integration of educational technologies. Additionally, student employees develop resources to help faculty create accessible materials, organize multimedia content, and specialized course resources such as lab videos. These students also assist their peers with course projects, providing technical support and valuable feedback that is relayed to faculty through established ID and AT partnerships.
