What resources do you have to help support faculty?

Note: This article is relevant to the legacy DesignPLUS Sidebar installed before July 2023. If your institution installed or updated the DesignPLUS Sidebar after July 2023, please check the New Sidebar Guides and the New Sidebar FAQ.

While our training program and support portal focus on keeping your designated administrators trained and running smoothly, we do have a few resources that you are welcome to share with your faculty.

  • DesignPLUS Training Recordings
    • Post training, we provide a link to the recording of the session to all in attendance. We recommend downloading all training recordings for personal reference and to share with colleagues as needed.
  • DesignPLUS User Guide
    • The DesignPLUS User Guide is where you will find documentation for our tools. To ensure that our documentation remains up to date, the User Guide is only available in an online format. 
  • DesignPLUS Training Course
    • The DesignPLUS Training Course, available in Canvas Commons, is the same course we guide your designated administrators through during our training program. If faculty have access to a sandbox in your Canvas instance, they can import the course themselves and work through it at their own pace.
  • DesignPLUS Monthly Release Notes
    • Checking out our monthly release notes is the best way to stay up to date on what's new and improved with the tools.
  • Cidi Labs Support Center
    • Browse our knowledge base for answers to frequently asked questions.
  • Cidi Labs YouTube Channel
    • The Cidi Labs YouTube channel contains DesignPLUS tutorials as well as a number of design-focused webinars featuring our customers and the awesome ways they've used our tools.
