Who Supports Your Course?
Every IST World Campus course has a learning designer assigned to support it (and a backup, just in case). If you have questions or comments about a course, use this link to find out who to contact. If you have a concern about a course not listed below or something that is not course specific, please contact ISTLearningDesign@psu.edu and someone will get back to you.
Course Template Model
World Campus courses at IST are managed using a course template model. One master course template is developed and maintained, and each semester all sections of that course being taught are copied from the course template.
This method eliminates the development burden for instructors while teaching and ensures a consistent curriculum for all students taking the course.
See the Course Template Model diagram below.
