Project requests

Consultation request

Up to 3 hours of learning design support for a fresh perspective on your teaching.

TeachWell Consult offers short, focused support for teaching staff who want to reflect, refine, or explore new approaches in their practice. You’ll meet with an experienced learning designer to discuss your course, clarify your ideas, and propose practical suggestions.

We can help you with:

Designing or revising assessments (incl. in context with AI)
Structuring your course or modules
Applying relational learning strategies (incl. in large and online classes)
Writing or reviewing learning outcomes
Embedding accessibility practices and Canvas Baseline Practices
Exploring ways to engage students
Thinking through Canvas setup or course structure
Answering questions about learning technologies
Course quality review and feedback*

* Our staff have expertise to provide quality assurance feedback on your course based on internationally recognised indicators of best practice.

Think of it as a sounding board for your ideas—not a service desk or content migration job.

What’s included

You’ll have access to up to three hours of one-on-one support, which can be spread across multiple meetings if needed. Our team will act as a critical friend offering constructive feedback, pedagogical insight, and suggesting learning and teaching technologies to help you achieve your goals.

What we don’t do as part of this service

Migrate course content between platforms
Edit videos or recordings
Build custom software or digital tools

If you’re working on a larger project that involves any of these, we’re happy to discuss what’s possible through a formal proposal.

Request a consultation

Just submit a request through TeachWell Consult (staff login required). We’ll respond within two working days to schedule an initial meeting and understand what support you need.

Outreach

Our faculty co-location team offers quick and spontaneous, in-person or virtual TeachWell Consult sessions either in your faculty space or online.

Is it right for me?

This is best for quick conversations, troubleshooting, or informal idea-sharing. Ask questions, test ideas, or get feedback on your teaching practice. We may record our time spent with you through logging a TeachWell Consult request on your behalf, i.e., let us take care of the formalities.

It’s like office hours, but for your teaching design questions.
