Dear Faculty,

Are you planning to develop a new course or revise an existing one? The Center for Instructional Development & Distance Education (CIDDE) provides services to faculty in support of University teaching and learning. Instructional Development services include assisting instructors as they develop and revise courses, learning activities, course materials, and techniques to assess student learning. A CIDDE instructional designer will work directly with you, according to your schedule, to help you create the basic components of a new course or to reengineer an existing one, using current and effective teaching and learning strategies. In the past year alone, CIDDE provided these support services to over 100 faculty members.

To get more information or to schedule an appointment, please contact me at 412-624-7372 or nicoll@pitt.edu.

All the best,
Joanne Nicoll
Associate Director of Instructional Design and Faculty Development, CIDDE
