Online Teaching and Distance Education

Online teaching is becoming more common every semester, and coupled with increasing demand for online learning opportunities, it is important to consider how course content is delivered and how to optimize it for online delivery. The instructional technology team and the Office of Distance Education are committed to assisting in development, implementation, facilitation, and evaluation of online teaching and learning, including real-time or asynchronous offerings, through the use of the best delivery technology platforms available.
