Higher education institutions struggle with inconsistent course design that creates navigation confusion for students, accessibility issues, and misalignment between course elements. Faculty often build courses from scratch, duplicating effort and creating quality variability. Existing templates may be either too rigid or too generic, failing to reflect institutional identity or specific program needs.
The CalibrEd Approach: I create ready-to-use course templates that strike the perfect balance between structure and flexibility. Each template embeds quality standards, accessibility best practices, and your institutional branding while still allowing faculty creative freedom. This approach dramatically reduces development time, ensures consistent quality, and creates a recognizable learning experience for students across programs.
Available as standard course templates, program-specific designs, or comprehensive template systems with multiple layout options.
Yes. Templates are specifically designed for your institution's LMS, whether you use Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, Moodle, or another platform. The designs leverage your system's native capabilities while maintaining a consistent look and feel regardless of the underlying technology.
Templates strike a balance between consistency and flexibility. Core elements like navigation, accessibility features, and branding remain consistent, while faculty maintain creative freedom over content presentation, learning activities, and assessment strategies. The goal is to handle the technical design aspects so faculty can focus on their subject matter expertise.
Not at all. Your templates will incorporate your institutional branding, program-specific elements, and unique pedagogical approaches. The result is a recognizable institutional identity with room for individual course personality—the opposite of generic, one-size-fits-all designs.
Implementation includes comprehensive documentation, hands-on training sessions, and support resources. Most institutions begin with a pilot program in select departments before rolling out templates more broadly. I'll work with your team to develop a phased implementation plan that minimizes disruption while maximizing adoption.
