About Us

Welcome to the Instructional Design Studio! The ID Studio, or IDS, is both a team of professionals and a physical space. Together, our goal is to assist faculty in the design and development of high-quality educational resources for our learners.

Located on the lower level of Becker Library. The 700 square foot space includes a formal sound-proof video-recording studio as well as a smaller Do-It-Yourself Studio (DIY Studio). The two studios support the creation of high-quality video resources by faculty to enhance student engagement with course materials. We additionally have access to a variety of software to expand your teaching beyond traditional video. To see some examples of what we can do, check our our Project Highlights! For a description of what to expect and some general best practices, please see our Services.
