TUNE IN: Curious about the evolving role of instructional designers in higher ed? Next month EdSurge HigherEd, in partnership with the Online Learning Consortium, Intentional Futures and Acrobatiq, will kick off a free, three-part series of webinars exploring the role of the instructional designer. The webinars are structured around the findings of a recent report by Intentional Futures looking at the role, workflow and experience of IDs across the United States. Each event features a panel of experts on the given topic.
The three webinars include:
- June 2nd: Instructional Designers in Higher Education: The Role, Responsibilities and Experiences of IDs
- June 17th: From Campus to Classroom: Leveraging Instructional Designers at Different Scales
- June 30th: Moving the Innovative Institution Forward: Tools & Strategies for IDs
Join us next Thursday for the first event, which will dig into the evolving and emerging role of the ID, the ID as a hidden asset on campus, the trouble with being multi-talented, and the difficulty with awareness of the ID role in higher education. Featured panelists include Jennifer Rafferty, Director of the Online Learning Consortium Institute, and Sean Hobson, Assistant Vice President and Chief Design Officer for EdPlus at Arizona State University. Hope to see you there!
