Instructional Designers work with subject matter experts to design and develop learning experiences that prepare students to meet learning outcomes. We work closely with faculty to implement inclusive teaching practices such as Universal Design for Learning and accessibility, engage students in online and lecture courses, and choose instructional technology tools that help meet instructional goals. Instructional Designers also evaluate campus needs for technology and training resources, provide resources for continuous improvement of course quality, and help 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 keep up with emerging practices and national standards.

Instructional Designers across the University of Alaska have communicated and collaborated for many years. Although 老澳门六合彩开奖记录, UAF, and UAS provide instructional design support through different organizational structures and processes, our goals and interests coincide. 

In 2011, 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 Instructional Designers (and others with interest and experience in instructional design) organized into the Instructional Designers Alliance. The ID Alliance has met regularly for ten years and grown in number and representation. The current ID Alliance has 20 members representing 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 and its community campuses, along with and liaisons from . In our monthly meetings we work together on identified goals and share teaching resources, accessibility practices, new technology/features, news from university committees we are members of, professional development opportunities, and more.
