Instructional Design and Support Center

We need your help designing an instructional support center for faculty. The center will be approx 5,000 sq. ft and located in the new Extended Learning/College of Physical Activity and Sports Science building on the Evansdale campus with accessible parking and access. The facility is expected to be completed in Fall 2010.

The purpose of this facility will be to develop a supportive and innovative environment where faculty can engage in collaborative research, explore innovative instructional applications, and test theories to advance teaching and learning and to provide faculty with inspiration, tools, support, and space for instructional innovation through collaboration, development opportunities, and emerging technologies.
