Instructional Design Center

Housed within EKU Online, the Instructional Design Center is committed to supporting faculty in the development of high-quality instructional content. We partner with faculty in the design and development of face-to-face, hybrid, and fully online courses to support an effective blend of instructional strategies and educational technology.

Utilizing evidence-based practices, our Instructional Design Team can provide support in both the technological and pedagogical aspects of modern higher education. Whether drawing from years of teaching experience or newer into teaching practice, the IDC can help brainstorm and explore a range of options for faculty to achieve their course outcomes and support student learning.

Faculty Support

The IDC is here to support faculty with a wide range of needs through consultations and projects, such as:

  • Partnering on a design or redesign for your course, building around the Learning Objectives and Outcomes that speak to faculty and program goals.
  • Collaborating to explore new pedagogical strategies for online, hybrid, and face-to-face courses.
  • Identifying instructional technology that best supports authentic learning opportunities for students.

Please connect with the Director of the Instructional Design Center, Matt Connell to explore partnering with the IDC.
