Educational design

An Educational Designer can work with you to design courses and programs for flexible learning - whether for new courses or for existing ones.

What is Educational Design?

  • An approach that seeks to enrich the learning experiences of all students
  • A collaborative and consultative process that facilitates the development of curriculum development at the program and course level
