Faculty & Staff Training
- Training schedules will be provided on a monthly basis to support faculty and staff.
These sessions are designed to enhance technical proficiency, online course design, and instructional strategies in GeorgiaVIEW and distance education.
Training schedules will feature Conversations with the Director of Distance Learning, offering a chance to engage with the Director, discuss needs, and gain insights into upcoming initiatives, resources, and best practices.
ID Afternoon Chat: Weekly Virtual Support
Join our weekly ID Afternoon Chat to ask questions, troubleshoot issues, or get feedback on your online and hybrid courses. Instructional Designers are available to talk through GeorgiaVIEW questions, ADA compliance tasks, course design ideas, and more.
Thursdays
3:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Online (virtual session)
January 15 - May 7, 2026
Schedule a One-on-One Consultation
If the weekly chat time does not fit your schedule, you can book a one-on-one session with an Instructional Designer at a time that works for you. Use our online booking page to choose a date and time, and you will receive a calendar invite with a virtual meeting link.
(You’ll need to log in with your ASU account to access the booking page.)
