I am Kaitlyn Chance, a Higher Education Instructional Designer with more than four years of instructional design experience and six years in K–12 education. I specialize in developing high-quality online and hybrid learning experiences that are intentional, inclusive, and grounded in strong pedagogical practice.

My expertise spans online course design, accessibility, and Universal Design for Learning (UDL), curriculum development, and multimedia production. I am skilled in applying instructional theory to create courses that are clear, engaging, and adaptable for diverse learners. My work focuses on aligning outcomes, assessments, and learning activities in ways that support student success and empower instructors to teach with confidence.

I am currently pursuing my PhD in Curriculum & Instruction, which allows me to further deepen my understanding of learning theory, instructional strategy, and the evolving needs of today’s learners. This ongoing research directly informs my design approach and commitment to continuous improvement.

Beyond my professional role, I bring a holistic perspective shaped by the experiences that matter most to me. I am a pet mom to two cats and a dog, a lover of travel, and someone who finds inspiration in exploring new places, cultures, and landscapes. Travel has taught me adaptability, empathy, and the value of thoughtful planning—all qualities that influence how I approach instructional design. Whether I am on a hiking trail, capturing a new destination through photography, or researching an upcoming adventure, I am always learning and observing how people engage with information and experiences.

My personal and professional values align around a simple belief: learning should be accessible, meaningful, and designed with intention. I strive to create learning environments that support all students, celebrate diverse perspectives, and provide clear pathways for success.
