Informed Guidance of Best Practices
Advising on state and federal regulations, pending legislation, and professional standards are only part of the services provided to our clients. We offer guidance in mobile technologies, learning analytics, electronic portfolios, social media, open educational resources, collaborative learning, and instructional technologies only just now on the horizon. Let us show you how to maximize your current investments and prepare a roadmap for the future.
Valuable Expertise
The advising and consulting staff have been on the front lines teaching in schools, community colleges, and universities. We have implemented statewide consortia degree programs, led successful reaffirmation and substantive change accreditation processes, designed faculty development and peer mentoring programs, and provided proactive solutions for quality academic programs and reactive solutions during emergency situations.
Instructional Technology
Our consultants not only have an extensive understanding of the Desire2Learn toolset but can also call upon specific experts within Desire2Learn in ERP integration, learning analytics, authentication methods, and other technologies to design optimal approaches to complex problems. We can demonstrate how to leverage publisher content, learning object repositories, third party technologies, and open Internet resources to extend Desire2Learn and provide instructors the option for creative expression while still in control of the learning environment.
