Policies
Due to the limited staff of the Online Learning support area, we cannot be everything for everyone. In some areas, we can be full service, but we are unable to provide in-depth production support to develop materials, courses or other projects. Our model is based on empowering faculty and staff through training to provide skills that increase knowledge and outcomes.

Training |
