Work Examples
These examples highlight the range of collaborative, learner-centered work produced by the COIP production teams. Each project reflects a partnership with instructors to translate course goals into engaging digital experiences—through thoughtful instructional design, multimedia integration, and intentional use of learning technologies.
Course Production
COIP collaborates with instructors to design and produce full courses that provide students with a cohesive, start-to-finish learning experience. Courses feature an intuitive landing page, clearly organized instructional materials aligned with learning objectives, and engaging activities that reinforce learning and promote student engagement.
Engaging Assignments
COIP partners with instructors to design and implement engaging assignments that align with course learning objectives and support student success. Assignments incorporate tools such as PlayPosit for interactive video learning, Perusall for peer annotation and collaboration, and Packback and Harmonize for structured, high-quality discussions that promote active learning.
Elevated Designs
Improved FAQ
FOS2001: Man’s Food is a large-enrollment course. To efficiently address a wide range of student questions, the instructional designer and instructor collaborated to organize the FAQ section by topic, using accordion layouts to create a streamlined, easy-to-navigate experience.
Managing Undergraduate and Graduate Assignments Within One Canvas Shell
MCB4403: Prokaryotic Cell Structure and Function includes undergraduate and graduate sections in one Canvas shell. Assignment titles indicate which sections should complete each task, and module overview pages use cards instead of tabs so students can quickly scan assignments.
Peer Engagement With Perusall
Example 1
FOS2001: Man’s Food is a large-enrollment course. To efficiently address a wide range of student questions, the iIn NUR3123: Pathophysiology and Pharmacology, the instructor and instructional designer decided to create Perusall assignments to move away from only using quizzes in the course and provide opportunity for students to meaningfully link the content about pathophysiology with related pharmacology topics.
Example 2
In CHM2046: General Chemistry 2, students engage with their peers to score and comment on their work.
Interactions Within PlayPosit Videos
Example 1
In IPM3022: Fundamentals of Plant Pest Management, ungraded knowledge checkpoints were added to the beginning and the end of each lecture video. These allowed students to test their knowledge of the materials before completing graded assignments with similar questions. The PlayPosit pause interactions also provided supplemental resources to specific portions of the lectures.
Example 2
In IDS2935: Finding Lost Stories, multimedia resources are intentionally integrated at specific points within the lecture to support and extend the instructor’s references.
In-Studio Recordings
Recorded lectures are central to many courses, allowing instructors to communicate course content to students in a more personal, face-to-face style. The COIP production team provides dedicated support, helping instructors record high-quality lectures in either of the two available studios.
Lectures
Dr. Rita Men teaches alongside her content via green screen to give students a visual aspect of the content while she lectures.
Instructor Brian Avery lectures on the green screen and has an interesting conversation with many animated subjects, giving his lecture a unique delivery method to the students.
Dr. Jessica Francis lectures in front of a green screen, allowing students to focus on her teaching without distraction.
Dr. Joseph Spillane lectures in front of a green screen where the content he is discussing has been added on screen, increasing the visual impact of his lecture.
Dr. Jennifer Coenen discusses storytelling against a custom background of colored lighting that parallels her canvas course color scheme, with props that enhance her storytelling lectures.
Dr. Joslyn Algren discusses anatomy in front of a black curtain and uplights to not only highlight her lecture but also contrast the sample bones that she would be pointing out.
Interviews
Dr. Kevin Winstead interviews Dr. Rianna Walcott about AI in today’s world.
Dr. David Norton, UF’s Vice President of Research, sat down with the 2024 NSF Director, Dr. Sethuraman Panchanathan, to talk about AI.
COIP’s very own Dr. Brenda Such interviews Dr. Gabriela Hamerlinck about geography in global health and environmental change.
Instructor Lindsey Thomas interviews former University of Florida Athletic Director Jeremy Foley.
Demos
Dr. Kathryn McGill gives a physics demonstration.
Dr. Shaw Weatherford performs an exciting, “magical” demo.
Dr. Stefanie Gazda performs a demo in the COIP Studios on how to extract DNA from a strawberry.
Dr. Margarete Dasilva goes over all the parts that make up the dental articulator.
Instructor Chelsea Cantrell gives a demo in Photoshop.
On-Location Recordings
Instructors may best communicate course content at a specific location. The video team partners with instructors to identify ideal settings and capture lectures and demonstrations that more effectively showcase the concepts and skills students need to learn.

Course Promotional Videos
These dynamic, video snapshots offer an engaging, high‑impact preview that draws in students—and anyone curious about the courses—way beyond the plain syllabus. Instructors have featured the videos on their personal social media, departments sites, and across other digital channels to amplify visibility and spark interest.
