The company last week announced the expansion of Envision, its multimedia database of white papers, how-to guides, videos and other resources spanning each stage of the course-development process, which it summarizes as “plan, build, teach.” According to the company’s news release, Envision’s content is created by university faculty and instructional designers, and it’s tagged and searchable based on the user’s role and where they are in the course development process. It covers topic areas such as rubrics, course preparation, student engagement, accessibility, game-based learning and using augmented reality in a classroom setting, among others.
In a public statement, the company’s Vice President of Learning Design Kathy Groth said Everspring’s faculty satisfaction scores are “routinely in the mid- to high-90-percent range.”
“Our expansion of Envision reflects the depth of our commitment to supporting the professional development of our faculty partners by making the platform more content-rich and relevant,” she said.
Everspring’s recent clients include the Milwaukee School of Engineering, which contracted with the company earlier this month for market research, course development and marketing; and Oklahoma City University’s nursing school, which partnered with the company in February for marketing, admissions and student retention services.
