Allain Daigle supports faculty in advancing excellence in teaching and learning at Penn State Fayette and Penn State Greater Allegheny. He offers individualized course consultations and develops ongoing programming focused on current topics in pedagogy, instructional design, and locally relevant teaching interests.
Course Consultation Appointments
Allain meets with faculty and instructors for one-on-one consultations focused on teaching strategies and course design. These conversations center on your goals, with guidance grounded in research and best practices in teaching and learning.
His role is not to prescribe how you should teach, but to provide a range of tools, strategies, and perspectives to help you achieve your own instructional goals.

Video and Media Creation Planning
Interested in incorporating more video into your course? Whether you're developing mini-lectures, creating multimedia content, or designing video-based assignments, Allain can help you determine effective approaches and select the right tools.
Inter-Domain Course Design
Designing an inter-domain course? Allain can assist with aligning learning objectives, identifying potential collaborators, and developing a cohesive course design plan.
Course Assessments
Are your assignments aligned with your learning objectives? Are students demonstrating learning in meaningful and varied ways? Allain can help you review and refine assessment strategies to better support program goals, course outcomes, and students’ professional development.
Workshops
Allain offers workshops and learning sessions throughout the semester (see Regularly Scheduled Sessions for upcoming events). If you’re interested in a specific topic, he can also coordinate customized workshops tailored to your needs.
