• In Event: Roundtables Thur2
  In Roundtable Session: D&D - Roundtables Thur2

Short Description

Too often instructional designers working with faculty become the ‘task master’ for project management, ruled by deadlines and deliverables. A trusting and supportive relationship between faculty and instructional designers is critical to success and greatly hampered by this aspect of the instructional designers role. In response, Virginia Tech developed an approach utilizing professional development based upon critical elements for design, quality assurance standards, and peer review to provide project management with a softer touch.
