Campus Partnerships / Online Program Development / Instructional Design / Meet the Team

Meet the Team

Our Instructional Design team works with faculty members across the entire state of Wisconsin to create media-rich courses using cutting-edge technology. With the goal of bringing to students the best possible experience, designers collaborate with faculty to ensure that all courses go through a rigorous design process grounded in current instructional design theory.

UW Extended Campus designers have advanced degrees and work to stay current with the latest trends in the field of instructional design by attending and presenting at national and local conferences.

And course creation is just the beginning. UW Extended Campus designers assist faculty for the duration of each course, refining course design to meet new needs of instructor and students. Courses are also periodically reviewed and revised to maintain accurate content and quality design.
