Save Time: Significantly reduce course development time—build a course in mere hours
Scaffold Designer
Meet the industry’s first fully integrated course development tool
Scaffold Designer is an innovative but simple course development tool designed specifically to help faculty build their online courses.
What is Scaffold Designer?
Building courses directly into the editor of your LMS can be difficult, time consuming, and error prone. Scaffold Designer replaces manual, time-intensive course development processes and allows users to create robust courses with advanced styling without the need for HTML.
Designer provides a variety of multimedia for easy integration throughout your design. Simple search functions allow course builders to add media seamlessly.
Create engaging & robust courses easily: faculty-friendly, plug-and-play, guided course creation tools without needing HTML
Build consistency in course design: centralized content for institutional messaging & guidelines
“Instead of doing what’s easiest first, the faculty member will progress through a logical process. And, the most important thing is that there is a parallel structure throughout the course; anyone using Scaffold Designer has a comprehensive map.”
- Dr. Rachel Sandomir
How does Designer work?
Scaffold Designer replaces manual, time-intensive course development processes—like sharing documents, emailing Word templates, and laborious content loading—with direct integration into your learning management system.
Finally, control of the course development process is back in the hands of the experts.
