Prequel to the Process ft. the School of Public Health’s BSPH Program
Spring semester is in full swing and so are this year’s new projects. The designers at CETL have started implementing a new exciting (just trust me for now) program design process that we’ve been working on for a hot minute. I won’t get too into the weeds about...
What’s New in Course and Program Design at CETL?
Welcome to the first CETL blog post of the new semester, year, and decade! This post is a team effort featuring Joju and Taylor. We’re here to let you know about some of the new projects the course and design team are working on this semester. We’ll both...
The fantastic and sometimes delicious benefits of co-design
I don’t usually order pancakes (team waffle all the way) but the allure of “duck gravy-smothered” anything was too strong to pass up. The pancakes arrived along with a glass of OJ, and honestly, I think the term “smothered” was a little too...
The Iterative Process of Process
A long time ago in an office not that far away, I had just finished an initial meeting with an English professor. After meeting with a faculty member, the designers on our team will reflect on what was discussed and send a follow-up email to recap and provide next...

This week’s cool tool is a must have for anyone looking to turn PowerPoint presentations into videos with narration. Sure you can use tools like Captivate to import slides and add narration and extras but that process can be time consuming and clumsy....Coming Back Home
Last summer the CII’s instructional design team moved from Library South to the fourth floor of the Aderhold Learning Center. While we’ve enjoyed the proximity to the many tasty restaurants on Broad Street we are happy to announce that we will be moving back next...Accessibility for online classes (First Steps)
It’s not uncommon to hear someone talk about why online education should be accessible. In fact I’ve never heard someone argue against the idea of accessibility. Most of us if not all of us agree it’s not only a good thing but the right thing. Unfortunately talk...Instructional Innovation on Campus: Climate Literacy Labs
I’ve now worked at the CII for ten months. Coming from a corporate instructional design background I’ve been learning and adjusting to the world of higher education. One of the biggest differences I’ve noticed is pace. I’ve been cranking out...Subscribe by Email
