teachology How Can the Instructional Designers Help You? Feedback on instructional materials. Have you been thinking about making a video for your students or are you looking for ways to improve a handout? We’d be happy to work with you to create the very best materials possible. Engaging Classrooms. Are you looking to change things up in the classroom? We offer numerous workshops as well as a certificate course on active learning. We can offer a host of alternatives to the traditional lecture-based lesson and work with you to tailor these strategies to your personal style. Trying out technology. Do you want to incorporate technology into your teaching? Are you interested in reaching out to your students through social media? We can review with you some of the latest literature on educational technology and what does (and doesn’t) work. Professional networking . One of the great strengths of Santa Fe College is its teachers. Through workshops and less formal gatherings, we can put you in touch with innovative instructors from different departments. Great ideas may be closer than you think. Simply put, our job is to support teachers in being the very best they can be (we’re kind of like the Marines that way but without the pushups or weapons training).
