What is instructional design?

Instructional design is the process of systematically and creatively planning and developing learning experiences. Grounded in research about how people learn, the instructional design process applies to both face-to-face and online educational environments. Frequently, though not necessarily, instructional design involves the use of technology to facilitate teaching and learning.

What does an Instructional Designer do?

Instructional designers (IDs) partner with faculty to design engaging and effective courses. While IDs provide ideas and feedback, faculty control all the decisions about how a course is structured, the content presented, and the activities, assessments, and discussion questions to be included.

How can Instructional Designers help faculty?

t UMB, instructional designers work within the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning (FCTL), offering a core menu of instructional design services. The collective skill set of the instructional design team is broad, but the core services they offer UMB faculty include:

Refining course learning goalsBrainstorming learning activities and assessment strategiesProducing instructional videos and multimedia presentationsEnsuring ADA accessibility and copyright complianceBuilding online courses in Blackboard or edX (MOOCs)Providing online course facilitation training to instructorsManaging the course development project timeline
