Need Instructional Design contractor

[BillStaples]

We designed a self-paced course in Brightspace and have imported it to Canvas, our new LMS staring in September. The course pages are pretty rudimentary (maybe ugly) and the course needs a facelift. There are 12 modules about 50 submodules including 20 videos and 10 quizzes and assignments.

Is this the place I look to find instructional and graphic design specials to contract out to?

I am brand new to Canvas, and know nothing about the rules and conventions. You can send me to another site if this is the wrong place to look.

Hi @BillStaples,

Welcome to Canvas! You're starting an exciting project. I lead a team of Instructional Designers here at Instructure and we offer Instructional Design Services that could help you reach your goals for this project. We can help with creating a new design and then applying that design to your imported course.

Feel free to reach out to me via email and I can connect you with our team to help you get more information about our ID services if you're interested in learning more.

Hi @BillStaples,

I work with Canvas regularly and have helped redesign a number of migrated courses from Brightspace.
I can help clean up the layout, improve accessibility, and make the modules more visually coherent.
Happy to walk you through some of my previous projects and best practices specific to Canvas as well.

You can reach out to me on my email here

Hi, I’m Iftiaj, better known as Ifty / ifty in the Canvas LMS community. As a multi-certified Canvas Expert (SME), I specialize in course design, instance-level customization, custom reporting, API, Canvas Data 2, and unlocking the full potential of Canvas LMS’s advanced features. While these capabilities can significantly enhance teaching and learning, they often go unused due to technical complexity or lack of awareness among basic users.

I can help achieve your goals by developing a fresh, cohesive design for your course and applying it across all modules in your newly imported Canvas course. If you'd like to discuss your project further or have any questions or see my portfolio, feel free to reach out to me via email ( iftiaj.info@gmail.com )
