Introduction to Instructional Architect

The Instructional Architect (ia.usu.edu) allows you to find, use, and share learning resources from the National Science Digital Library (nsdl.org) and the Web in order to create engaging and interactive educational web pages. It's easy and free.

The IA enables you to:

• create instructional activities using the resources you find
• create a free account to store your collection of resources and instructional projects
• share your resources with your students and other teachers

While using the Instructional Architect, you don't need to go to the NSDL to find resources. Instead, you can search for resources from the NSDL through the IA, as shown in the following graphic.
