Teaching and Learning Innovations is thrilled to welcome Stacey Beauregard to our team! In 2024-2025, Stacey is joining us in the role of Faculty Learning Design Coordinator, a new position that will lead core learning design initiatives for CSU Channel Islands.

Stacey Beauregard has been a Lecturer in English at CSUCI for more than ten years, teaching courses across modalities in composition and rhetoric, interdisciplinary writing, and children’s and young adult literature. She holds graduate degrees from the University of Exeter (UK) and UCLA’s School of Education and Information Studies. In addition to her work in English, she has a background in education research, assessment, and content development.

Stacey has also been a long-time TLi partner, serving as a Digital Learning Mentor, a learning design consultant for special projects, and a faculty peer mentor for the TLC program. She also received recognition for her learning design project, which used badging tools and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles to allow multiple paths for students to demonstrate mastery in an English composition support course. 

In her role as Faculty Learning Design Coordinator, Stacey will oversee the following projects:

Learning Design Consultations

Serving as a liaison to the rest of the TLi team, Stacey will be a friendly point of contact for faculty who seek personalized learning design support. You may connect about VoiceThread, PlayPosit, Hypothesis, or another academic technology for facilitating engagement in a course, for example, or perhaps you may be new to teaching online and seek suggestions for templates, resources, practices, and other forms of support. Stacey’s experience, training, and integration with the rest of the TLi team means that you have a colleague who can connect you with the resources you may need. 

Digital Learning Mentors 

In 2024-2025, Teaching and Learning Innovations will partner with Digital Learning Mentors (DLM). DLMs are faculty who have extensive training and experience in the design and facilitation of the virtual course environment. This year, DLMs will have particular experience or expertise with emerging AI tools and issues, and will provide mentorship around humanized and inclusive virtual learning environments in an AI-influenced era. Whether you teach online or in-person, if you use Canvas, your course has a virtual environment. DLMs provide a support network of peers you can contact via email or schedule to meet with in Zoom. This year, they will have an additional focus on supporting AI-related learning design issues and practices.

Learning Design Projects

In coordination with TLi’s learning design team, Stacey will continue CSUCI’s learning design project efforts, which involve individual projects that involve the integration of technology and pedagogy, and which culminate in submissions of exemplary instructional materials to QuARRY. Watch for the call for proposals in Spring 2025!

OneHE and Facilitated Engagements

TLi offers faculty development and engagement opportunities throughout the academic year. During 2024-2025, we continue to have an institutional membership with OneHE, a global organization and digital platform that houses micro-courses, resources, and other materials on a variety of timely and relevant topics for teaching and learning in higher education. 

Stacey’s colleagues know her to be a generous collaborator, creative thinker, excellent teacher, and thoughtful learning designer. Her skills and experience with inclusive practices, content design, technology, pedagogy, and education research will be tremendous assets for the Teaching and Learning Innovations team and for CSUCI. We hope you’ll watch for communication from Stacey about these learning design initiatives and more, but you can also connect with her now!
