What Does an Instructional Designer Do?

In this episode, Angela speaks with a handful of Instructional Designers working at Rush and various universities throughout the country about their profession. Among other topics, these designers share their passion for their work and the many, often surprising ways they support faculty, from simply helping to lighten the workload when getting a course off the ground to offering insight into creative solutions for teaching problems and course design by applying their expert knowledge of learning tools and online pedagogy. The big takeaway: Your course is still yours. We're just here to help you make it happen and realize your vision!  A big thank you to our guests: Peg Checchi: Instructional Designer, Rush University Cindy Cooper: Instructional Designer, Eastern Kentucky University Steve Shisley: Instructional Designer, Eastern Kentucky University Courtney Hebert: Sr. Learning Experience Designer, Louisiana State University
