Testimonials
Parfait Eloundou-Enyegue, with his post-doctoral student Sarah Giroux, speaks about his experiences working with ICAD.
"The company we were working with to redesign our website pulled out of the project at the last minute and ICAD took over the project at a crisis moment for us. They not only made the transition seamless, they went on to deliver a spectacular website. They went beyond our original specs to offer us additional solutions and functionalities that have greatly enhanced our new website. Their team was responsive and thorough through the entire process, from design to "go live" - answering all our questions and working with us to deliver the best site possible. Because of ICAD, our organization has a dynamic website that successfully extends our mission and work to a virtual audience."
– Kelly Freter, Communications Manager, International House of Blues Foundation
"For several years, eCornell has entrusted the instructional design and content development of many of its online courses to ICAD, always with superior results. Lisa and her colleagues at ICAD are well-versed in the principals of a problem-based pedagogy and implement it consistently, creatively, and effectively across a wide range of curricula. ICAD is scrupulous about meeting deadlines and conscientious about working within budgetary constraints. It's a comfort and a pleasure to be able to work with a vendor in whom I have such confidence."
–David Shoemaker, Ph.D., Vice President, eCornell
"I recently worked with ICAD to develop the online course design and content for a business strategy curriculum I authored. It was a pleasure working with such skilled and experienced professionals. I was extremely impressed with the quality of their work and I enjoyed collaborating with them, too. I look forward to working with ICAD in the future."
– Cathy A. Enz, Lewis G. Schaeneman, Jr. Professor, School of Hotel Administration, Cornell University
"The creativity and technical expertise of the ICAD team opened possibilities for course development that went beyond what I could imagine. Consider me a converted skeptic: The online courses created in partnership with the ICAD team provide a learning experience superior in many respects to the brick-and-mortar course."
– Scott Gibson, Associate Professor of Finance, Mason School of Business, William & Mary University
"I have now worked with ICAD for three years and to me, their acronym has come to mean It Can Always be Done. Many a time, I would approach the team with a half-baked idea, praying it would not be laughed off. Not only would they find a creative solution for implementing it, but they would expand the original idea in ways I could have never imagined. I highly recommend the group for design projects, big and small, fully fleshed or half-baked."
– Parfait Eloundou-Enyegue, Associate Director of the Cornell Population Program, Cornell University
"Working with the ICAD team on the development of our finance courses was both fruitful and professionally rewarding. The expertise that Lisa Dundon brought to the table made the process of creating the latest two eCornell courses possible. In addition, her ability to interpret subject material for the course and to advise us on related technical matters made her invaluable as a partner throughout the course development process. The online courses could not be what they are without the partnership between Scott Gibson, myself, and ICAD."
– Steven A. Carvell, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, School of Hotel Administration, Cornell University
