If you have a course that you have been teaching for at least two years, you qualify to have your course professionally developed by the EDT team. This process takes approximately 12 to 16 weeks and would include the items listed below.

New Course Submission Preparation

Before you present your syllabus to the Curriculum Committee, let us have a look. We have reviewed countless syllabi and can ensure that yours is up-to-date with clear and measurable course objectives and student learning outcomes.

Project Management

Building an online course is a lot of work. So don’t spend more time and effort than you have to! Your instructional designer will work with you to develop a customized project plan to help you stay on target.

Quality Matters (QM) Review

All online and blended courses in the state of Florida must meet quality standards set forth by the state. Our EDT team members are Quality Matters’ certified. We will provide you with appropriate feedback to elevate the quality of your online or blended course.

Course Map

The course map is an important instructional design document that ensures the instructional materials, activities, and assessments align with course objectives and student learning outcomes. This document serves as evidence of multiple QM standards being met. Your instructional designer can help you navigate this map while offering feedback intended to improve your students learning experience.

Canvas Build

We can help you assemble your online course using the college's latest Canvas course template.

Course Review

If you are looking to elevate an existing course (online, face-to-face, or hybrid), our team will review your course, provide recommendations, and consult with you on updating your course.

Instructional designers are well-versed in utilizing eLearning authoring tools such as Adobe Creative Suite and Articulate 360 to develop impactful representations of your educational content tailored to the needs of your audience. Browse through these eLearning products and services below to discover what opportunities are available to you.

Presentations

PowerPoint Design

We can help you develop and design PowerPoint presentations to enhance your message while providing a high-quality product that will engage your students. We can make your existing presentation more impactful with a full redesign or create an eye-catching template for you to use across the course to capture the interest and attention of your learners.

Infographics

Infographics are thoughtful and detailed representations of complex concepts and data. A good infographic can summarize a chapter's worth of content in one intriguing image.

Web-based Lesson

Enhance your informational PowerPoints and other documents into an interactive web-based lesson. We can help you chunk this content into mini-lessons that are highly interactive and visually appealing with embedded photos, videos, graphics, and quiz questions. Students will feel a sense of autonomy as they navigate their learning.

Interactive Learning Experience

Our instructional designers are adept at creating personalized highly interactive learning experiences. Work with us to design and develop learning that immerses the learners in real-world scenarios, learning games, and case studies. This is ideal for faculty looking to create a lasting memorable experience.

Custom Theme in Canvas

Customize your Canvas course and enhance your brand while adhering to the college’s design standards. The Custom Theme in Canvas menu item is for faculty who would like to improve the look and feel of their Canvas course. Improvements can include custom font and color selection, as well as banners and images that reflect the content of your lessons.

Course Photography

Course photography can help connect your face-to-face lab component with the online course. Let us photograph your course in action and place those images into your online course to create one seamless experience.

Audio/Video Development

Screencasting

We can help you record your screen and turn it into a beautiful and interactive video that will engage your learners. Screencasting will help you to show them how to navigate a website or use an application.

Instructional Videos

Demonstrations of medical procedures and/or the use of medical equipment may not be easily conveyed through text and pictures. Instructional videos will allow you to speak directly to your audience, showing them exactly what they need to know.

Introduction Videos

Instructor presence can be challenging to accomplish in an online environment through text or pictures alone. Our team will work with you to craft your story and develop an introduction video that will show your learners who you are.

Audio Assistance

Is your recorded lecture audio choppy, and do you not have the proper equipment to record those lectures? High-quality audio is critical to provide quality educational experiences in the online environment. The EDT team can provide you with a soundproof room equipped with audio recording technologies, as well as guidance on your script.

Podcasting

Podcasts are great portable audio learning experiences that students can enjoy on the go while commuting, working out, or going for a walk on the beach.

EDT provides opportunities for training and development through additional support, consultation, webinars, and workshops. These are designed to provide you with guidance and bring you up to pace with the latest in online teaching pedagogy and educational technologies.

Learning Strategy Consultation

Sometimes what you need is not easily defined. In the Learning Strategy Consultation, you will work one-on-one with an instructional designer to help resolve your learning challenge.

Webinars

Whether you are discussing the history of nursing or the human body, there is a specialized tool out there to meet the needs of your learners.
