The CLDT team has expanded over the past couple of years to better serve Whiting School faculty. With all these changes, it may be challenging to know who is doing what and how we can help you. Fear not! Here is a useful guide to the CLDT.
The Learning Design team’s main function is to provide teaching and learning support when faculty members are creating a new course, revising an existing course, or have any kind of pedagogical need. The instructional designers collaborate with faculty, librarians, and other CLDT members to help create high-quality learning experiences for WSE students. Additionally, the Learning Design team leads faculty development efforts through the Faculty Forward Academy to further strengthen teaching and learning across the campus.
The Quality Assurance and Course Support team collaborates closely with the instructional design unit to support its content development efforts. We assure quality in all development tasks, including reviewing documents and presentations, building content in the learning management system (Canvas), ensuring accessibility of course content, and conducting formal quality reviews of all developed courses.
The Instructional Technology team helps faculty enhance student learning by incorporating technology into the classroom—both online and on campus. We support its infrastructure implementation & maintenance, administration, advising and project management. When you contact the Help Desk, we’re here to help.
The Multimedia Production team consists of videographers, producers, studio technicians, and editors who provide a variety of media services to enhance course lectures, presentations, promotions, and livestream content for the entire WSE community. We collaborate with internal and external clients to develop a personalized approach for each multimedia project.
The Multimedia Systems team designs, builds, and maintains huddle rooms, conference rooms, and classroom spaces across multiple Johns Hopkins campuses. In addition to designing and deploying collaborative spaces, we provide support for in-person, hybrid and remote events, general pool classrooms, and digital signage for all WSE faculty, staff, and affiliates.
