eDesign Collaborative Track 

The UPCEA eDesign Collaborative (eDC) Network, serves higher education instructional design teams (instructional designers, multimedia developers and team administrators) in higher education seeking networking and professional development. The eDC has three main objectives: 1) networking, 2) professional development, and 3) research and publication. 

Presentations involving multiple organizations and international partners, as well as content which may be scaled or optimized by attendees from a wide range of institutions and credit-bearing scenarios (credit, noncredit, alternative credential, etc.) are strongly encouraged. 

Proposals for this track are encouraged to focus on (but are not limited to) the following topics:

  • Case studies examining the ecosystem of course design

  • Learning design that recognized and amplifies principles of diversity and equity

  • Examples of learning design with regard to flipped classrooms 

  • Interdepartmental collaboration 

  • Faculty development and innovation 

  • Accessibility and inclusion in course design 

  • Examples of enterprise-wide initiatives such as OER or LDX 

  • Models for supporting learning continuity in the face of disruption 

  • Innovative practices in developing faculty-designer relationships
