Design. Develop. Deliver.
The UM3D instructional design and technology team assists faculty with creating quality online, on ground, and hybrid courses for the University of Memphis, including proving support and training in the use of the university's learning management system, Canvas.
Our wide array of services help instructors reach their students wherever they may be.
To do this, we build on the 3 Ds of Instructional Design: Design, Develop, and Deliver.
Design
Course Design and Planning
Course design and planning services are at the heart of UM3D. Our instructional designers work one-on-one with course developers to produce quality instruction. This process often begins when:
- a department proposes a new fully online program
- when faculty propose a new online course
- when it is time to redesign an existing online course
UM3D also consults and collaborates with faculty to:
- improve academic integrity
- increase instructor presence and student engagement
- update and improve single assignments
- integrate student success services
- implement universal design for learning (UDL)
