Educational Design and Effectiveness
The Educational Design and Effectiveness department aims to foster a culture of learning and improvement throughout academic, co-curricular, administrative, and strategic areas across the University.
Educational Design and Effectiveness recognizes that the University’s ability to foster learning in our classrooms depends heavily on our ability to foster learning and improvement in operations outside the classroom.
Educational Design and Effectiveness partners with academic and non-academic areas to provide data, resources, professional development, and insights that are seamlessly integrated into the university’s operations, enabling Gwynedd Mercy University to proactively identify opportunities, address challenges, and design/implement initiatives.
