About
Gonzaga’s Jesuit, Catholic, Humanistic education will challenge and inspire you.
IDD collaborates with faculty and staff at Gonzaga University to provide expertise and support in leveraging educational technology, Ignation Pedagogy, and hybrid Pedagogy to innovate and enhance the GU experience for students wherever they may be.
Hybrid pedagogy is an umbrella term applied to courses that use some combination of online and face-to-face delivery. The proportion of online to face-to-face interaction varies widely, ranging from courses that are online but include a weekly clinical or lab session, to courses that are fully online but include a short 3-day face-to-face Immersion. Even “flipped classroom” models where students meet face-to-face 2-3 times a week but complete the majority of their work online before these class meetings can be considered hybrid pedagogy.
Canvas provides a vast array of tools for engagement and interactivity, presenting a perfect opportunity to improve upon what is already an exemplary learning experience. Login to the MyGU portal to learn more

Before coming to Gonzaga Hayley was a high school science teacher in Colorado and Oregon. What she enjoyed most about teaching was creating engaging lessons and utilizing technology to enhance and transform the learning experience. Her role as an LMS Administrator allows me to apply and build on the skills she developed as a teacher to support the faculty at Gonzaga. In Hayley's free time, she spends most of her time outdoors, running, biking and hiking. Her husband and her are always planning their next outdoor adventure. She also really enjoys a good coffee shop or tv show binge.
