ID Fellows |
The Instructional Design Fellows is a volunteer group of faculty who collaborate with the Office of Online Learning (OOL) and the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment (CTLA) in providing a cooperative peer model of instructional design, development, and review for the all learning modalities. As subject-matter experts, the Fellows work cooperatively with faculty to develop, modify, or redesign courses with an emphasis on providing consistent and high-quality options for CGCC’s student body.
ID Fellows have completed the Instructional Design Certification program through the Online Learning Consortium (OLC). The OLC is a collaborative community of higher education leaders and innovators, dedicated to advancing research-based quality digital teaching and learning experiences designed to reach and engage the modern learner – anyone, anywhere, anytime.

Andrea Villarreal earned her undergraduate and graduate degrees at Oregon State University and completed my dietetic internship at Oregon Health Sciences University. She began her career as a registered dietitian nutritionist at the VA Medical Center in downtown Phoenix. During my 8 years at the facility, she worked with both hospitalized patients and those receiving routine treatment for hypertension, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. Andrea’s most favorite career endeavor, thus far, is teaching which began over 20 years ago. In the early stages of online learning, she helped develop a shared district-wide online nutrition course which has gone through several iterations to become the customized course she teaches today. Since coming to Chandler-Gilbert in 2016, Andrea has been actively involved in committees that help to guide the development and assessment of online courses. She believes it is important for the students to have consistency between online courses as it helps with both student success and retention. As an instructional design fellow, Andrea plans to use the information learned to help other faculty implement best practices into their online courses.
