Instructional Design in Higher Ed — Meeting Expectations, Filling Gaps
Instructional design has quickly become one of the most essential — and most misunderstood — aspects of teaching in higher education today. Faculty are expected to juggle research, teaching, and course design while adapting to rapidly evolving student expectations and institutional demands. But here’s the challenge: most professors are experts in their subject matter, not trained instructional designers.
In the latest episode of the LiveCarta Podcast, we explore this growing gap — and how educators can bridge it without burning out.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- Why instructional design is more than just content delivery
- Where the real disconnect lies between institutions and faculty
- How student expectations are reshaping course formats
- The myth of the “perfect” course — and why iteration matters
- The practical role of AI in helping faculty build better courses, faster
- Tools and strategies to personalize, remix, and update course materials with ease
🎧 Whether you're teaching online, in-person, or somewhere in between, this episode offers insight into how instructional design can empower—not overwhelm—you.
