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.
Grading and Assessments
Complete Introductory Gradebook Training for Beginner/Intermediate Brightspace Users
It is KVCC's policy that all courses include a syllabus in the Brightspace shell and make use of the Gradebook to provide ongoing feedback to students throughout the semester. This training is required, but can be provided 1:1 with an instructional designer or by way of this video.
