Learning Design

Academic Technology Learning Design Fellows Program

Each summer, Academic Technology Learning Design offers two teaching fellowships to encourage the creation of quality online courses with the assistance of an instructional designer for use in Baylor graduate and undergraduate curricula. (Applications not currently being accepted.)

Designing Instruction for Virtual Engagement (DIVE)*

DIVE is a six week online program for fa­­­­culty interested in learning the fundamental theories and practices of designing and teaching high quality online and hybrid courses.

DEEP DIVE*

DEEP DIVE is a six-week program for faculty who want to build on the skills developed in dive and explore an in-depth learning experience focused on advancing their teaching skills across different modalities. Whether teaching in-person or online, this six-week program offers valuable insights and tools to help faculty discover their teaching strengths, engage students effectively, optimize learning outcomes, and create inclusive and engaging learning communities in all learning environments.

Designing for Online Teaching Success (DOTS)

DOTS is a six-week, online program for doctoral students interested in learning the theory and practice of designing and teaching high quality online courses.

Learning Design Just in Time (LDJiT)

LDJIT is a way for faculty to engage with evidence-based learning design best-practices at a time and place when faculty need the information. Faculty time is limited and therefore, do not always have the time to attend hour long webinars. The asynchronous LDJIT modules were created and curated to support the busy faculty.

*DIVE and DEEP DIVE are not sequential courses, you may complete the courses based on your schedule and in your preferred order.  

• DIVE concentrates on the science of designing online courses, offering participants practical strategies and techniques for creating and teaching effective online courses. It encompasses systematic practices for designing courses that engage and educate students. 
  • Are you interested in ‘the how’ of teaching and learning? DIVE offers hands-on experiences for designing and building a course. The Fall 2024 schedule is: September 9th – October 31st 2024. 
• DEEP DIVE delves into the fundamental principles that underpin course design and teaching across different modalities. It goes beyond the 'how' and explores the 'why.' This program empowers educators to make more informed decisions and create courses that prioritize a student-centered approach. 
  • Are you interested in ‘the why’ of teaching and learning? DEEP DIVE explores your teaching strengths based on theoretical foundations.The Fall 2024 schedule is: October 9th – November 20th
