Socially Engaged Design (SED) Informed Pedagogical Consultation
C-SED provides pedagogical consultation that can match your needs with C-SED content through the curation of scaffolded material and facilitated sessions that integrate seamlessly into course learning objectives. Using C-SED’s extensive library of socially engaged design content (ex: slides, facilitation guides, videos, worksheets), we invite you to craft meaningful learning opportunities for your students.
