Join the Educator Developers Network
Announcing the 2023 relaunch of the Educator Developers Network (formerly “The ID Network)! A collaborative space for anyone passionate about improving teaching through effective design, pedagogy, and technology. Here, anyone with an interest in enhancing education can come together, share their experiences, and mutually learn from one another.
We meet synchronously and asynchronously and have regular virtual meetings where people can share their department’s work, ask for advice, or celebrate success. Much of the discussion occurs in Microsoft Team, where we have an initial structure of channels for members to explore MSU’s Learning Management System (D2L – Brightspace), discuss course design, or seek out technology recommendations and tips. Ultimately, the Educator Developers Network is a place to source answers to your questions or ask for help, be in the community with others, and share what you know!
The ID Network has existed for many years on campus and has historically been a great resource for many. It has provided a community to share ideas and resources, with excellent participants contributing to its existence. The relaunch and rename only reflect a desire to create a broader, more inclusive community.
The initial design of the Educator Developers Network came from a committee of current ID Network community members, and the planning and organization of the Educator Developers Network will continue with volunteers, most of whom were active participants in the ID Network. Thank you to those who helped with the initial design of the new network. That committee was made up of:
- James Bender
- David Goodrich
- Andy Gregor
- Kevin Henly
- Mathew Koss
- Jay Loftus
- Meghan Loughlin-Krusky
- Ellie Louson
- Makena Neal
- Nick Noel
- Megan Patrick
- Chris Shaltry
