Fall 2008 Issue


You still have time to submit a Distance Education Course Proposal for 2008-2009!  Those of you teaching in technical/occupational areas are encouraged to take advantage of the 'blended' course option.  Blended courses are designed so that students complete the lecture component online and the hands-on portion on campus.
