In May 2013, my director was interested in knowing how many IDs other institutions had compared to URegina and what their roles were. I wanted to try to find an answer so I created a survey in Survey Monkey and distributed the link through CNIE and directly to people I knew. I will share the survey results from about 24 responses. Some of the questions asked in the survey were: name and size (FTE) of institution; # of distributed courses offered; # of IDs, AIDs and other technologists; location (centralized, decentralized), roles and workload of these staff members, ID salaries and preferred education credentials (minimum degree level and type of degree).
This presentation is intended to provide instructional designers, administrators and technologists with a small sampling of what other instructional designers and/or equivalent personnel do to develop face-to-face and other distributed learning courses at Canadian universities and colleges so that they might be compared to one’s own institution.
