Center for Online Learning and Teaching

Introducing the "Center for Online Learning and Teaching"

The Center for Online Learning and Teaching (Center) is a new University initiative focused on supporting faculty in three areas.  These three areas are:

  1. Utilization of technology tools;
  2. Instructional design;
  3. Administrative Support for Program Development 

It is envisioned that support for these three areas will mature over time as available resources evolve.
