Subject Specialist Consultation in Instructional Design: Higher Education

Instructional design consultation in higher education has its own unique set of problems and solutions. The needs and characteristics of the subject specialist in higher education differ from those in other work environments. To facilitate subject specialist-instructional designer interactions in higher education, certain tools and strategies can be used. Through a four-stage training process, students in instructional development programs can learn to successfully use these tools and strategies as part of the consultation process.
