Support

To us, support is what we do to lesson your load – reducing your effort and time through our pre-defined services and processes. Our support goals are transparency, clarity, and relevancy. The services we offer help you submit requests, streamline tasks, and provide step-by-step directions. We offer support through several channels, including consultations, technical support guides, services, blog posts, and other EdTech special projects.

Empower

To us, empowering means building confidence; we’re here to help you make the right choice for you, as you implement technology into your teaching. Our empower goals are to promote agency, support decision making, and to consider the problem you’re trying to solve with technology. We try to complement your domain-expertise with evidence-based instructional design strategies. We externalize what we’ve learned via our self-directed guides, tool comparison charts, course design modules, customizable templates and other pre-built “jumping off points” that get you ideating and iterating.

Inspire

To us, inspire is what we do to get you excited – the ETO works collaboratively with your colleagues to produce flexible and re-usable digital learning experiences (and other types of projects, too). Our inspire goals are creative, adaptable, and authentic; we plan, design, and develop projects that reflect you, your learning outcomes, and really work for your learners. We share current and past projects through our project showcase and our in depth behind-the-scenes blog write ups. These examples are not intended to limit your thoughts, but to spark ideas for your own project.
