To help the University faculty create online courses that engage learners, the Division of Continuing and International Education's Distance Learning Institute (DLI) and Academic Technologies have launched the DLI Online Course Development Series. The series offers open forums that focus on transitioning to a successful online learning model. Our instructional designers are available to answer questions and give insight regarding the best ways to use various educational tools in your online classrooms.
