Instructional Design

Our Objective

The goal of our team is to facilitate pedagogically sound, interactive instruction and save the faculty valuable time. We will be happy to collaborate with you to develop the optimum online and/or classroom experience for you and your students.

Instructional Designers at the Medical College of Georgia hold Masters Degrees in Educational Technology as well as certification in distance and online instruction. The designers consult with faculty about course development and instructional project management. They bring expertise of learning theory and experience in both instructional design and technology. Our designers provide faculty development and specialized online course development. Their capabilities include:

• Course design consultation
• Faculty training for the instructional use of distance learning tools and other instructional technology
• Selection and implementation of classroom teaching methods and strategies
• Research related to instructional resources and decision-making
• Grant writing assistance for instructional development projects
• Consultation for the design and evaluation of instructional materials using various media

Online Tutorials

Faculty Development tutorials are online. These are short visuals to help you use the technology tools available on campus. In addition, workshops and lunch and learn sessions are scheduled monthly.
