Consultations
Instructional design consultation is a collaborative space to think through teaching ideas, course challenges, and opportunities for improvement before investing significant time in development. You do not need a fully developed course or finalized materials to schedule a consultation. Whether you have a complete course plan or only an idea, Digital Learning can help you identify practical next steps.
