On-Demand Workshops
On-demand workshops are pre-recorded videos that take you through a series of steps to complete various tasks.
Events by Date
We offer a variety of focus hours, workshops, and events. Most events are provided via Zoom, with some having an in-person option. The location will be noted in the event details. Participation and application of learned skills from events can often be counted toward badges for ETE Professional Development Pathways.
Below lists the online / virtual workshops that are currently scheduled with our instructional designers.
CIDI Focus Hours
CIDI provides weekly focus hours on a variety of topics, listed below. These are workshop-like, in that the time will be spent providing hands-on assistance and training on the advertised topic. The time will be spent addressing participants questions and helping them reach their goals, whether that's building something or simply learning. If you would like training on a specific topic for you or your department, please email the instructional designer assigned to your department to request a custom workshop.
Whether you're starting from a blank slate or rethinking an existing course, bring your goals and we'll help you map it out: learning outcomes, materials, assessments, and a build plan you can actually finish.
Great course design helps students spend less time navigating Canvas and more time learning. Bring a course you're working on and we'll help you format and structure it for a clean, consistent, professional look—homepage, content pages, and assignments.
ETE Events
The Office of Empowering Teaching Excellence brings instructors together from across the USU system to build a community of teaching excellence. To accomplish this ETE holds several workshops, seminars, learning circles, and other events throughout the year. Those who engage in these events gain new insights on cutting edge teaching technologies, the scholarship of teaching and learning, and community support for a culture of teaching excellence. Engaging in instructional development is a key component of the architecture of engagement at USU.
