Leveled Services
Following consultation, an Instructional Designer will work with you on a plan for course development. To meet a variety of needs, we offer a range of service options:
Level A: 1-on-1 course development with a dedicated Instructional Designer. A designer will work with you 1-on-1 for a number of weeks from the initial planning stages, brainstorming activities and assignments, designing course content, LMS (CarmenCanvas) support, multimedia support, etc. through the launching of your course. This level will depend on availability and time to dedicate to a full course design.
- Timeline: Level A typically requires 16-20 weeks from initial planning through full course design. If this level is desired, we highly recommend beginning more than 1 semester prior to the anticipated semester for the new course offering.
Level B: support with a dedicated Instructional designer through consultation and delivery of custom resources. This level will depend on availability and time to dedicate, and familiarity with the LMS (CarmenCanvas). Offerings in this service may include, but are not limited to, customized course templates, LMS (CarmenCanvas) support, multimedia support, and resources in the support of your course development.
- Timeline: Level B is dependent on the needs of the course and instructor. We would recommend beginning at least a semester prior to the new or updated course offering.
Level C: support provided through resources, workshops, and other just in time guides. Offerings in this service may include, but are not limited to, standard course templates, resources for multimedia and LMS support, workshops and tutorials.
- Timeline: Level C is mostly self-paced, resources will be available or provided to you. This level is recommended for someone who has previously designed an online course, is comfortable with designing in the LMS (CarmenCanvas), or is on a shorter timeline.
