Our Mission

Students as Partners. Our mission at the ITRC is to transform education at Western University by creating exceptional online and multimedia instructional content. We achieve this by employing talented students who collaborate with faculty and use advanced technological tools, thereby empowering our student designers with practical skills and professional growth. 

What We Do

Together, our designers work with different departments at the university (faculty members, HR, administrators, among others) to create engaging technology-enhanced or technology-based online instructional materials.  

Multimedia designers and specialists also provide advice and assistance to faculty interested in integrating technology into their courses and in-person support to Western faculty and staff.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Testimonials


 Connecting for Climate Change Action by Beth Hundey
"In each video, I can see how we benefitted from the creative and keen eye of this team, whether it's in the thoughtful animation of course artist Hawlii Pichette's art, the unique in-house animations that break down complex concepts and figures for learners, or the work behind camera for our higher production videos. I'm grateful for their balance of organized and creative; their organizational processes kept us to a schedule, and their flexibility allowed them to embrace our vision and push the boundaries of what a course about climate change can feel like."


Getting Ready for Active Learning in Math Class Animation by Asghar Ghorbanpour
"While working with the ITRC team on a project, the first thing you notice is their level of professionalism; They consistently support you in various aspects of the projects, the team is very clear on their expectations and the steps, and would make themselves available to talk to you if you are looking to someone to share your ideas with and that way they could help you refine your project. In addition to their expertise, the project lead was very friendly with excellent communication skills, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable." 

Lecture Videos for Introduction to Buddhist Philosophy by Sidath Rankaduwa
"The ITRC has been a lifesaver on multiple occasions! Through them, we were able to rent lots of equipment to professionally record university lectures, and with the ITRC's help, turn them into well-produced material for an online course. I couldn't recommend them enough for their professionalism and expertise. Whatever your vision, they will be able to make it happen."

Immersive Learning Cases in Implementation Science by Mona Jarrah
"From the very beginning, they understood the vision and goals of the project and brought it to life with their exceptional design skills. The graphics they created were not only visually stunning but also perfectly aligned with the educational content, making it more engaging and easier for the audience to understand. Working with the ITRC team was a seamless experience, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality visual solutions."
