Design Studio

Course design is more than arranging content in Canvas. Thoughtful course design helps students navigate learning materials, understand expectations, and engage more effectively with course activities.
Whether you’re building a new course, revising an existing course, or preparing for a course review, the Design Studio provides resources and consultation support to help you create a more effective learning experience.
Our Approach
We work alongside faculty as design partners, providing guidance, feedback, and recommendations while helping instructors build their own course design skills.
Our goal is to support sustainable improvements that can be applied across multiple courses and teaching contexts.
Looking for a Fresh Perspective?
Sometimes you’re too close to your own course to see opportunities for improvement. A course review provides a fresh set of eyes and practical recommendations for enhancing the student experience.
