Faculty members at Royal Roads share a passion for teaching and learning; this is reflected in our Teaching Philosophy and the course development process we use.
At the Centre for Teaching and Educational Technologies, we use a team approach to develop courses. A team consists of a Subject Matter Expert (Instructor) assigned by the programs, an Instructional Designer and an e-Learning Technician, each assigned within CTET. When multimedia is required, we also bring in a Multimedia Developer.
