Hello! 👋
I’m Tracy Stuntz, the Instructional Designer at Clovis College since Fall 2016. Before Clovis, I worked in instructional design at Fresno State and taught part-time in communication across the SCCCD and Fresno State.
I hold an Ed.D. from Fresno State, where my dissertation focused on the impacts of course design on self-regulated learning behaviors in students. I also have an MS in Instructional Design from Cal State Fullerton and an MA in Communication from Fresno State.
As the instructional designer at Clovis, I’m here to support you with research-based best practices, including:
- Selecting Teaching Technologies: Choosing tools to enhance learning in face-to-face, online, or hybrid courses.
- Canvas Expertise: Using Canvas tools to build user-friendly, structured courses that support easy navigation.
- Fostering Student Interaction and Community: Strategies to enhance student engagement and create a strong course community.
- Learning Outcomes and Course Alignment: Developing and aligning learning outcomes with assessments, activities, and course content.
- Online Teaching Certification: Guidance on becoming certified to teach online.
- Course Review and Updates: Reviewing online courses and suggesting updates using the CVC Course Design Rubric.
- Accessibility Support: Ensuring all materials and tools meet accessibility standards for all learners.
I also offer help with:
- TurnItIn (plagiarism detection)
- Office 365 (cloud-based Office tools)
- Zoom (video conferencing)
- Canvas Integrations (apps for badges, video discussions, multilingual support, textbook integration, etc.)
- Flipping Your Classroom
- Affordable Course Materials (OER and low-cost options)
I regularly provide faculty development workshops and training sessions, so keep an eye out for announcements on those opportunities!
Feel free to reach out anytime via email at tracy.stuntz@cloviscollege.edu or schedule a 1:1 meeting here: [Meeting with Tracy].
