Course Planning and Development
When faculty and instructors are tasked with creating a new course or redesigning an existing course, they act as course designers.
Faculty and instructors are subject matter experts, they know their content, but they may not have a background in learning theory, instructional design principles, online learning or instructional technology. This is where instructional designers and educational technologists come in!
