2024 – Growing Instructional Design at Cañada

My second year as Cañada’s Instructional Designer has brought a lot of professional growth for me as I settle into the role and learn more about how faculty want to utilize the role, and also growth for our Instructional Technology & Design team.

This year, I wanted to focus on implementing the feedback and comments that I received from faculty as I talked to them about the role of the Instructional Designer in 2023.

🪴I prioritized working on projects to bring faculty updated and complete resources that they could use whenever they needed them, rather than needing a consultation to get questions answered.

🪴I completed multiple POCR Accessibility Reviews and QOTL 1 Consultative Reviews to help to strengthen our course review process and culture here at Cañada, and to bring an Instructional Design perspective to faculty that they can reference as they update their courses on their time.

🪴I continued offering regular workshops in the Faculty Teaching & Learning Center and Lounge and in our training room, 13-337. As a team, we’re revising our newsletter schedule, but we’ve continued sending that out regularly to connect faculty to resources and workshops.

🪴I’ve gotten more into campus service this year by serving on multiple committees, leading the drafting of comprehensive program review and facilitating 2 offerings of QOTL 2.

Thank you for being here and all of your wonderful support!
