Denise Kreiger

January 2, 2018

Denise Kreiger is an exceptional instructional designer, problem solver, project manager, instructor, mentor, team leader, and colleague who will enhance, improve, and transform any organization or project with which she is associated.

I had the pleasure of working with Denise while she was a Senior Instructional Designer and Technology Specialist at Rutgers University’s School of Communication and Information (SCI). Denise and I were introduced when I was asked to design and teach a new course about library leadership for library school graduate students.

As a long-time library practitioner, the topic of leadership was something that was second nature to me. However, as a relatively new part-time lecturer at SCI and someone who had never been trained in pedagogy, instructional design, or assessment, I was overwhelmed with what to do and where to start. From the first meeting with library leaders who helped inform the course development to the creation of both an online and face-to-face course, Denise was there to guide me, working side-by-side together to design and develop the course and to demonstrate meetings. Each of our meetings had its own learning objective and outcome. This made what was an overwhelming task of designing two courses much more doable within our time frame.

Denise is a gifted instructional designer. Her experience in teaching the classroom and in working with so many SCI faculty and instructors on designing and improving courses informs.
