My very drafty draft. trying to capture the essence of our discussion today, might be:

We work collaboratively  across the university ecosystem of experts and beyond, across a variety of course formats and a spectrum of domains, to co-create evidence-based, student-centered courses and programs with our partners. 

We see our role as interpreter / translator; as advocate for faculty and students;  and as bridge between excellent domain content and teaching strategies and the tools and resources which enable transformational learner experience.]]> 2019-11-12 22:21:32 UTC https://padlet.com/swartl/dz989ry67hvo/wish/410290229 swartl https://padlet.com/swartl/dz989ry67hvo/wish/410298146 2019-11-12 22:44:03 UTC https://padlet.com/swartl/dz989ry67hvo/wish/410298146 swartl https://padlet.com/swartl/dz989ry67hvo/wish/410298893 2019-11-12 22:46:32 UTC https://padlet.com/swartl/dz989ry67hvo/wish/410298893 jdwood1 https://padlet.com/swartl/dz989ry67hvo/wish/410326635 One of the barriers I see to easily being concise is the Instructor/Faculty/Subject Matter Expert (SME) conundrum. Internally, we understand "instructor" to be inclusive of both faculty and non-faculty SMEs. I worry that some faculty members view that language as insufficiently respectful of their position (if not actually demeaning). Add to that the layer of course developers, who may not ultimately be the course instructors. When we refer simply to "developers" I think we've stepped over a jargon line that can easily lead to confusion, particularly in subject areas rife with software developers (think CA!). ]]> 2019-11-13 00:31:55 UTC https://padlet.com/swartl/dz989ry67hvo/wish/410326635 jdwood1 https://padlet.com/swartl/dz989ry67hvo/wish/410330560 UWC2 instructional designers work with subject matter experts across the university to co-create transformational experiences for a variety of learners.

Our values include:
empathy for teachers and learners;
evidence-based practice;
creating community;
authentic, applied, learning for maximum relevance, and
creative use of tools and resources.

Obviously there could be more...

I think anything we produce should come with a list of the ways in which we do this, as in some of the examples we've looked it. It's really hard to be transparent and succinct at the same time.

Also, totally stole bits of this from Jan, Judith, and Laura's posts and comments. I think those were all great thoughts!]]> 2019-11-18 22:33:50 UTC https://padlet.com/swartl/dz989ry67hvo/wish/413067631 cohensa1 https://padlet.com/swartl/dz989ry67hvo/wish/413103829 2019-11-19 00:36:52 UTC https://padlet.com/swartl/dz989ry67hvo/wish/413103829 scalesj1 https://padlet.com/swartl/dz989ry67hvo/wish/413522660 I think we could use a mission statement. Followed by things that we value. 

An overview of projects that highlight these values would be a way to convey these beliefs. 

I like the way OSU has presented these course snippets.]]> 2019-11-19 17:38:58 UTC https://padlet.com/swartl/dz989ry67hvo/wish/413522660
