Director, Faculty Development and Instructional Design Center

Jason Rhode

I oversee the Faculty Development and Instructional Design Center, where I am responsible for planning, budgeting, supervising staff, program assessment, reporting, procurement, oversight of faculty development programs, working closing with academic and support units on their teaching and teaching with technology needs, and participating in committees.

With nearly 15 years of experience in the field of online learning, I have spent the past 10 years working closely with various units at NIU addressing faculty needs related to online teaching. I enjoy sharing my expertise designing and teaching online and blended courses with others.
