Serving Faculty, Students and Staff

The mission of the University of Maryland School of Social Work IDEA (Instructional Design E-Learning and Assessments) team is to support quality teaching, learning and research. We provide services and resources related to instructional design, eLearning, pedagogy, educational technology, assessment and evaluation. We partner with SSW faculty to design high quality, accessible and impactful online and hybrid courses. We put our knowledge of research-based practices, assessment and alignment of curriculum, tools and technologies for teaching and learning, innovation and experimentation to work for the School of Social Work. Reporting to the Dean of the SSW, the IDEA Team is led by the Associate Dean of Instructional Design and Technology.
