What is an Instructional Designer?
An instructional designer is an expert in the area of teaching and learning across all modalities (in-person, online, hybrid, high-flex, etc.). At KVCC, that means helping you, as a faculty member or adjunct instructor, highlight your expertise, develop learning experiences, and engage your learners in whatever modality you are teaching. It also means helping you shape your Brightspace to maximize its potential to support your teaching and support your learners as they develop the skills of your discipline.

Course Design
This is a quick video explaining how faculty can take advantage of our new LibGuides LTI. This allows you to embed specific LibGuides directly into your course site. You can also use this tool to embed our library databases directly into your course materials to point students to specific research components, specific articles, or any array of databases you might like them to use for your class.

Universal Design and ADA Compliance for your Courses
This video discusses key design features and supporting tools for accessible design and engagement strategies. We reviewed three keys to ADA compliance and design, relating to Powerpoint slides, PDF's, and web pages (like Brightspace course pages). We reviewed several accessibility checkers, including WebAIM, WAVE, PAVE, Powerpoint accessibility checker, and Brightspace accessibility checker. We ended by looking at Brightspace templates and a few features to liven up our course page designs to reach a broader student audience.
