ATI Faculty Sessions at PDC

Academic Technologies & Innovation (ATI), a division of Information Technology Services (ITS), will be hosting a series of instructional design days for faculty at the CSUSB Palm Desert Campus. 

Instructional design refers to the way course content is designed and the general development of course materials. 

The Palm Desert Campus does not have any instructional designers on campus, so these events give faculty a way to seek technological help in person. 

There will be both a morning and afternoon session for both dates scheduled for November 19 and December 2 in Indian Wells 102.  

The morning session will take place from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and the afternoon session will occur from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The topics will  range from Blackboard, course builds, hybrid and online classes and VR and AR instruction.

Jonathan Brooks, an instructional designer for ATI hopes the faculty at PDC are aware of the support and services ITS has to offer, “We just wanted to make sure PDC knows that we’re sending people out to help and we’re extending our support circle,” he says. 

While the focus will be instructional design, faculty can come to the sessions for any type of technological support.
