Instructional Design Services
Instructional Design (ID) Services supports faculty in designing, developing, and enhancing courses that use Lane’s learning management system (LMS). While we are primarily funded to assist with distance education courses, our team is here to help with any course that incorporates digital tools or online components. Our mission is to connect faculty with instructional design expertise and foster a community of collaboration and shared knowledge—teachers supporting teachers.
We are part of the Academic Technology Center (ATC), which also includes Media Services, and we partner closely with Lane’s Library, the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL), the Center for Accessible Resources (CAR), and Tutoring Services. Together, we’re committed to supporting you with all your distance and digital learning needs.
Explore the options below and chart your course! In most cases, faculty can be paid for course development time. When you're ready to get started, contact ID Services at idservices@lanecc.edu to set up a consultation. We're here to help!

Our goal is to prepare and assist faculty in developing, delivering, and improving courses following research-based best practices for student success and retention. The course development and improvement process is intended for any courses designated as a Distance Education modality.

Workshops, projects, and group discussions are presented by Academic Technology's Instructional Designers and other instructors from within the Lane community. They are designed to be short, informative, hands-on sessions or discussions covering various technologies and pedagogies as they relate to instruction. Academic Technology also offers opportunities outside of the Lane community. Sessions are geared toward instructors teaching Distance Education modalities, but many topics will enrich all teaching practices.
