OUr Services: Custom Instructional Design for Improvement of Online Course Effectiveness
It's Edumentary offers a unique model for online course development that provides a creative spark when partnering with universities and businesses to design and improve the online and classroom-based learning experiences for students and lifelong learners.
Instructional design has become an increasingly crowed field of start-ups, tools, and platforms that focus on mass-produced, one-size-fits-all learning solutions that may scale the content but not grow the learning. With the "Edumentary approach," we design truly custom experiences which take a deep-dive into the curriculum, identify instructional methods that will present the content in ways that will appeal to a variety of learning styles and abilities. We build in opportunities to assess and motivate learners at different stages in their learning journey, and when choosing tools and technologies for a course, we don't just look for the latest/greatest tech, but what will be the most effective for applying and inspiring learning.
Find out how It's Edumentary is truly unique, effective, powerful and enjoyable!
Online Course Design
Design of effective online teaching begins with effective planning and identification of objectives, requirements, and expectations. There is no one-size-fits all approach to the course planning and design process. We take an inquiry-based approach to helping you plan for teaching online, and our resulting course design can be tailored for any desired platform or system.
Designing & Implementing Digital Learning Tools
Digital learning tools are too-often fly-by-night, and all about the show. How do you identify, design and assess a learning tool from effectiveness first? Furthermore, with all your other teaching responsibilities, there’s just no time to learn how to use the latest “shiny” ed-tech tool. Just let us know what you’re trying to accomplish and leave it to us to find or build the right tool, and also provide any required training with less stress and faster adaptation.
Creating an Online Course from Off-Line Curriculum
Starting from scratch—building and designing an effective online course from offline curriculum can seem overwhelming, but this is our expertise. We will help you transform your lecture slides, activities, and assessments into engaging and accessible content that doesn’t just involve clicking, dragging, or guessing, but invites interaction, exploration, and collaboration. We don't just move your education online; we improve its effectiveness.
Improve the Design & Effectiveness of your LMS (Learning Management System) or Educational Website
Your bigger opportunity, in addition to improved course design, may be through better leveraging the features, structure, and tools of your Learning Management System (LMS). No matter the learning management system your school or organization uses, we can help you make the most of it. We'll bring the graphic design and technical expertise to help you create effective and user-friendly online learning spaces, and we take the approach of least-cost-first, so we don't go into a project with the first thought of changing everything.
