Team Services include:

  • Course Design: Starting to design a course? We’ve got templates, checklists and can help you with the process of developing a student-centered effective course. We recommend starting with a quick meeting with an ID to assess your needs and design a timeline and steps to accomplish your goals.
  • Teaching: New Ideas for Engaging Students? We are all about ideas! We are here to help you rethink what you are doing in the classroom, making it more enjoyable for you, and engaging your students. Adding new technology, or being more inclusive, our brainstorms, implements and assesses.
  • Curriculum: Developing a new program for your school? Navigating this complex and challenging task starts with a quick conversation with our team to make sure that the approval process is smooth and the program is successful, and you make all the required deadlines for students to register and be successful.
