Instructional Designers
Instructional Designers are e-learning specialists who work with faculty and other members of the GBC community to design online and blended learning environments. While they are not technologists, they can help with strategies for transitioning from on-campus teaching to off-campus, including the re-design of lesson plans, fostering engagement and exploring alternative assessment options.
