This interactive session provides actionable frameworks, real-world case studies, and facilitation techniques that can be used to foster collaboration, support innovation, and maintain course quality without alienating stakeholders. Attendees will examine real examples of how institutions built successful faculty buy-in and scaled quality standards without rigid mandates. Participants will gain a communication toolkit to better articulate the value of instructional design, learn practical strategies to shift from a service-provider model to a collaborative partnership model with faculty and department leaders.
