Mission: The mission of the Center for Distance Learning
is to increase access to the University and to expand exemplary
course offerings and programs through state-of-the-art instructional
delivery systems. These systems address the educational and
professional development needs of the University students,
faculty, and other stakeholders with a focus on relevance,
quality, and utility.
Vision: We are
dedicated to providing high quality programs to diverse audiences
at any place and at any time by effectively using cutting
edge technologies. We are committed to providing distributed
learning resources to aid learners at all stages of their
careers, specifically adult learners, at times convenient
to meeting both career and personal obligations.
We achieve this
vision by:
- Providing high priority programs focused on customer needs and expectations.
- Creating a shared vision at every level.
- Enhancing internal and external communications and collaboration.
- Adopting innovative models for staff development and training.
- Maintaining a deep commitment and focus on personal and group leadership development, which empower team learning.
- Linking and securing resources in response to identified needs and programs.
- Marketing and promoting programs to internal and external target audiences.
The Center for Distance Learning (CDL) works closely together with academic departments to pursue common goals of pedagogical excellence in all aspects of the university course delivery, whether they are off-site or online. CDL provides professional development activities and video, voice, and data professionals to further assist faculty members with online course development.
The CDL staff works closely with eLearning grant principal
investigators to review and submit proposals, develop courses,
process PD105 forms for faculty developers, and address all
other budgetary concerns in order to maximize use of all
allocated funds.
In addition,
the CDL staff
collaborates
with student
services to improve
the registration
process and the
overall experience
for eLearning
students. CDL’s
overall goal
is to make the
distance learning
experience as
smooth and rich
as possible such
that it is indistinguishable
from the on-campus
experience.
