The Faculty Resource Center (FRC) provides instructional design services at St. Edward's University. Our staff includes instructional designers who assist faculty members with integrating technology into their course curricula and delivery. We collaborate with faculty members and the Center for Teaching Excellence to design courses that deliver excellent learning experiences for students.  We work with faculty to design their courses with the appropriate technologies to address the desired learning goals and accurate assessment. We can assist you with Blackboard, blogs, Wordpress, wikis, digital audio/video, streaming services, podcasting, surveys and online classroom environments. We also provide assistance with research design along with statistical set-up and analysis.
