eLDIG is a team of instructional design and educational technology professionals ready to assist Smeal faculty and staff with their pedagogical and technological course development and delivery needs. We understand that every course has unique challenges and eLDIG works collaboratively with you to solve them. Whether you are teaching online or in-person (or something in between), transitioning or redesigning a course, or just need help applying learning technologies to your course, our philosophy is the same: It starts with YOU.
The goal of the Smeal Academy is to equip everyone with best practices and strategies for teaching, learning, and technology to ensure the Smeal community is prepared to respond to the unique challenges of teaching and learning in today’s world. We do so through email correspondence, live training and informational sessions, and through virtual and face-to-face consultations.

We can help you with course design and redesign, educational technology tools such as Canvas, Zoom, and Kaltura, strategies for assessment and evaluation, best practices in online instruction, and the integration of Smeal College and university-wide resources.
