Mission

Empowering Educators, Enhancing Experiences: BoLTS is dedicated to providing a comprehensive resource hub for instructors here at Kennebec Valley Community College. Discover articles to streamline your Brightspace course administration and benefit from insights curated by our Instructional Design team to elevate the effectiveness of your classes.

We are committed to continuous improvement; your feedback at BoLTS@kvcc.me.edu helps us shape a more accessible and impactful learning environment.

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.

Register for one or all of our great Professional Development Workshops here. Workshops are offered during the common hour (12:30-1:30PM).
