THE TEACHING CHALLENGE
Subject Matter Expertise Does Not Always Include Teaching Preparation
Faculty, instructors, trainers, and facilitators often bring deep academic, professional, or technical expertise to their work. However, they may have had limited opportunities to develop their skills in course design, adult learning, assessment, accessibility, learner engagement, or educational technology.
Changes in learner expectations, delivery formats, and technology can add further pressure. Educators may be asked to teach online, redesign activities, adopt a new platform, or support more diverse learners without sufficient time, guidance, or practical resources.
eDesignWorks provides focused professional development that respects existing expertise while helping educators strengthen their teaching practices and apply new strategies with greater confidence.
WHEN TO PROVIDE SUPPORT
Support Educators Through Change and Growth
Faculty and instructor development can provide practical guidance when educators are adapting to new responsibilities, delivery formats, technologies, learner needs, or expectations.
Preparing to Teach Online or Hybrid Courses
Help educators adapt their teaching practices, communication, activities, and course presence for digital and blended learning environments.
Redesigning Courses or Learning Activities
Support educators as they reorganize content, strengthen alignment, and create more purposeful learning experiences.
Improving Learner Engagement
Explore practical strategies that encourage participation, interaction, motivation, and meaningful application.
Strengthening Assessment and Feedback
Develop more effective approaches to measuring learning, communicating expectations, and providing useful learner feedback.
Adopting New Learning Technologies
Build confidence using learning platforms and digital tools in ways that support teaching goals rather than adding unnecessary complexity.
Building Consistent Teaching Practices
Create shared approaches, resources, and expectations that support quality and consistency across courses, programs, or departments.
