ID Studio FAQ

The ID Studio supports all of the School of Medicine’s academic programs. Currently, the studio resources are available for faculty producing curriculum materials for WashU degree programs. Studio resources are not available to students or for media unrelated to education.

ID Studio services are available to programs within the School of Medicine at no charge.

ID Studio hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Scheduling is subject to availability of our studio spaces and team schedules.

Our videographers produce video content that is designed to supplement the visual needs of the curriculm. Their primary roles involve recording and editing videos that effectively convey education materials and learning objectives.

Using evidence-informed practices in teaching and learning theory, an Education Specialist/Instructional Designer provides advice, guidance, and support to educators in the design, development, and delivery of educational endeavors. Types of support can range from the recommendation and planning of video resources to assistance with building active learning sessions, such as team-based learning (TBL). Another common function of this role is to support the alignment of learning objectives, instructional methods, and assessment of student learning. At WashU, our Education Specialist/Instructional Designer does not directly provide graphic design services, but can provide advice on the use of visual aids in teaching and learning.

Our Multimedia Development & Product Specialist can provide visual graphic support as well as copyright and accessibility guidelines.
