Work with a Digital Learning Strategist
What is a Digital Learning Strategist (DLS)?
A DLS is an experienced teacher with an advanced degree as well as online and face to face teaching experience in higher education. We currently teach online so we can share the latest in online pedagogy strategies. As certified Quality Matters peer reviewers, we also review online courses and share best practices for course features such as accessibility, learning objectives, alignment, and active learning.
A DLS works with instructors in the following areas:
- Online instruction best practices and pedagogy, including online course and program development.
- Course development for teaching with Canvas in all modalities.
- Sharing resources on a range of online instruction topics for both beginner and seasoned instructors.
- Improving accessibility in the course's digital space.
- Problem-solving related to translating face-to-face teaching to online modalities.
- Discovering and adapting emerging technology for online learning.
We also provide the following services:
- Individual consultations for problem-solving, demonstration, and general course development needs.
- Training events, programs, workshops, and courses, including the Annual New Instructor Conference in August and Canvas Jumpstart Series in January.
- Quality Matters course reviews.
- Resource creation, curation, and maintenance across several resource hubs, including the Faculty Resource Center (self-enroll link) and the Clemson Hub for Adjunct Instructors, or CHAI (self-enroll link).

What Clemson Instructors are Saying About Quality Matters and Clemson Online
“I am pleasantly surprised by the expectation that reviewers are asked to be specific, thoughtful, and balanced in their reviews.”
“I learned about how to inspect the accessibility of my LMS pages, and how to use the hierarchy of the headings to make my course more accessible to all kinds of learners.”
“I realized that changing a course for the better is certainly feasible and can happen over a series of ‘manageable’ and ‘traceable’ steps.”
