CCA Libraries provide instructional design services and resources that support faculty in using teaching and learning technologies to enhance a flexible, media-rich, studio-based, hands-on art and design education.
Services include leading technology workshops, facilitating events on pedagogical models and best-practices in teaching, one-on-one consultations, appropriate teaching tool selection, high-level technical support for hosted platforms, and the creation of just-in-time help documentation.

Faculty Resources
