Online resources and Help Desk

Tier I: Self-help tutorials, knowledge base articles, and instructional videos are updated frequently, are available online, and cover many topics.

Tier II: The ITS Help Desk (LMS-Faculty-Help@nau.edu) has extended hours, and handles basic questions.

Tier III: More complex problems are escalated to the NAU Online Instructional Designers, who work one-on-one with instructors to solve problems and develop teaching and learning strategies

Course development

For Online Course Development, faculty are paired with an Instructional Designer and additional support staff for several months to plan, build, deliver, and refine the course. Designers build long-term relationships with instructors who return when major revisions are necessary or new tools or teaching methodologies are added to the course.
