The College is investing in expanding its online presence and created an instructional designer position to backfill recent departures and support faculty across modalities. The role will help faculty learn to leverage the LMS and digital resources to benefit students and align teaching with institutional pedagogy and strategic priorities. The instructional design team lives within the Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship and reports to the center director. The center supports face-to-face, hybrid, and online pedagogy and engages with faculty across campus. The new instructional designer will collaborate with center colleagues and partner extensively with faculty as subject-matter experts to design digital resources tailored to each instructor's pedagogy.
High-quality educational experiences are best created when professors partner with instructional/learning designers. This is true for in-person, hybrid and fully online courses. If you are searching for an instructional/learning designer, I would like to highlight that opportunity in this Featured Gig series. Today, we are talking with Chris Hakala, director of the Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship and professor of psychology at Springfield College, about his instructional designer search.
The College is invested in continuing to grow its online presence. We have recently had a number of our instructional designers leave for positions that offered them different flexibility or that allowed them to move into other positions, and this current position is to backfill that space and to support our faculty both in the online space as well as the in-person teaching as faculty continue to learn how to best leverage their LMS to benefit their students.
In that capacity, the Center engages with faculty in all formats of pedagogy and supports both the face-to-face and online pedagogy as well as the digital resources that engage learners. The new ID will work with the team in the center to align practices but will also engage extensively with faculty as subject-matter experts to best design digital resources for their particular style of pedagogy.
