About
What is the IDEA Studio?
The IDEA Studio (Innovation, Discovery, Educational Advancement) empowers faculty and subject matter experts to explore new ways of teaching through technology, digital media, and thoughtful learning design.
Supported by Learning Experience Designers, the studio provides guidance, collaboration, and creative tools to help translate ideas into engaging, accessible learning experiences.
How We Work
Working with Learning Experience Designers
Design
Together, we plan an engaging learning experience and choose the right mix of media, tools, and interactivity.
Create
We help build and refine course materials, from videos and interactive activities to immersive learning experiences.
Review
You review and test the materials, and we make refinements to support clarity, accessibility, and usability.
