The Instructional Design and Technology unit within the Cente r for Innovative Teaching &\; Learning at Western Kentucky University i s focused on continuous improvement. Innovation goes beyond the use of the newest technology and design practices\, but also includes innovation in processes that guide our services. As instructional design professionals\, we know that design and development is never truly complete\, but instead grows along with the stakeholders\, technology\, and institutions involve d. With the ever-changing nature of post-secondary institutions\, we const antly have to adapt and change. One area in which we have seen tremendous change over time is in our online course development agreements and relate d processes.

In th e early stages of the adoption of online learning in the early 2000&rsquo\ ;s at WKU\, the proliferation of online courses and programs was the goal. For instructional designers\, the focus was to get faculty trained and co mfortable with the learning management system and its features. As our num bers stabilized and faculty were comfortable with the technology\, the foc us turned to creating quality online courses. This would change the nature of the relationship between faculty and instructional designers\, the req uirements for meeting the course agreements\, and our work completion and reporting workflows.

We will share our story of how changes in online course development agr eements have shaped our unit\, and technology adoption\, specifically the implementation of Blackboard Ally and Asana into our workflow and reportin g. We will also share where we are heading in the future and how we intend on growing further with these changes to ensure the best possible experie nce for the faculty\, staff\, and students we serve.
