Instructional Design
Instructional design is “the theory and practice of design, development, utilization, management, and evaluation of processes and resources for learning” (Reiser, 2002, p. 1). Instructional designers use research and practice to create cost- and time-effective instruction, learning resources, technology, and assessments. Instructional designers will work with with you to create effective courses and programs.
In support of the mission of CGCC, Instructional Design at the CTLA offers consultative services to support faculty in teaching, learning, and assessment best practices at CGCC. Consultations are a solution oriented discussion in which experts in instructional design assist faculty members in turning conceptual ideas into executable content.
Please schedule a consultation to determine how the CTLA team can assist you.
