Looking for help in designing high quality instruction by leveraging technology? The IDeL team includes three instructional designers who have assisted faculty in online/hybrid course development and taught online or hybrid courses for over twenty years.  

Individual consultations are available, and the IDeL team provides seminars and web-based resources to support faculty in their work to best leverage technology for teaching and to design high quality media-rich online/hybrid instruction.

Media-rich instruction can help solve instructional problems, enhance learning, and support student success.  The eLearning and Instructional Technology Specialists along with the Digital Studio and our Digital Media Developers provide support in the use of teaching with technology, creation of digital learning experiences through consulting services, project development, and instructional technology exploration for GVSU faculty and staff. 

One of the best ways to contribute to student success and to increase effectiveness and efficiency is to take advantage of technology to solve instructional problems and to create engaging teaching resources.

The eLearning team has assembled a wide array of Teaching with Technology resources that can be used in teaching, including:  Blackboard, Blackboard Collaborate, Ultra, Ensemble, TechSmith Relay, VoiceThread, PlayPosit, and much more!

The Systems Analysts on the eLearning team provide facilitation of the Blackboard environment, including helping to advance the system to better meet faculty and student needs.  In addition to the eLearning Graduate Assistants, Blackboard support and technical assistance is also provided through bbadmin@gvsu.edu.

Located in room 012 of the Atrium in the Mary Idema Pew Library Learning and Information Commons, the showcase is an initiative of the Information Technology department that provides faculty, staff, and students with an immersive and engaging environment to: interact, discover, learn, and share how innovative emerging technologies can enhance teaching and improve student learning at GVSU. 

The eLearning and Emerging Technologies graduate assistants provide a wealth of support and assistance in our work.  The GA's assist faculty with a variety of technology, including Blackboard support through bbadmin@gvsu.edu. Have a technology question or need Blackboard assistance, the GA's are here for you!
