eLearning Certification Modules

Part of the Quality Enhancement Plan for eLearning (formerly referred to as Distance Learning) was the development of a certification program for faculty who teach eLearning courses, and workshops to assist eLearning faculty in mastering the competencies that have been identified (detailed below) will be held throughout the year.

If you have questions, contact the eLearning Office at 752-5650.
