IDD collaborates with faculty from all schools and colleges to design, develop, and implement effective instruction in support of the academic enhancement goals of VISION twenty12.
How can we help?
We work with faculty to:
- Clarify instructional objectives
- Design, develop and assess instructional strategies
- Create technology-rich materials
- Enhance the learning environment for online, blended and face-to-face courses.
Contact the IDD consultant for your school to find out more. For teaching resources developed by IDD and other faculty support offices, visit the DePaul Teaching Commons.
Course Development Timeline
A quality online/hybrid course takes 20 weeks to develop!
To design a high-quality online/hybrid course necessitates sufficient time for planning, designing, developing, and testing. These development activities should start two terms before the course is being offered.
