Changes in Learning Design
We are pleased to announce Brian Daigle has moved into a new multimedia role as Assistant Director, overseeing the production side of our office. Brian will be focusing on multimedia use and development at IST.
Brian will no longer be supporting courses directly as an instructional designer. We ask that you consult our course support page if you previously worked with Brian on an SP19 or SU19 section.
SU19 Course Prep is Underway
Learning Design has been hard at work preparing for SU19 courses. We are currently making updates to our Course Templates and hope to have SU19 sections ready for teaching faculty by the third week in April. The SU19 semester begins on May 13th.
Course Templates Available for All IST Faculty
We’d like to remind faculty that all World Campus Course Templates are made available for all IST faculty.
