The Office of Distance Learning and Continuing Education Programs, Communiversity and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) are now among the resources housed in Canopy, UC’s innovative, collaborative and student-centered eLearning ecosystem.
As part of this strategic transformation, Melody Clark, Ed.D, Academic Director of Distance Learning and Continuing Education, and Janet Staderman, Distance Learning Coordinator, have joined the eLearning organization in University Hall, Suite 400.
Their office brings experience in areas such as:
- Assurance for Distance Learning State Authorization compliance.
- The university’s Quality Matters program.
- And the university’s Distance Learning website, a central informational portal for new students, faculty and staff.
“eLearning is about more than technology. It’s about partnerships and collaborations that support faculty and staff and promote student outcomes,” said Chris Edwards, Assistant Vice President for eLearning Technology. “Technology can enable 21st century teaching, learning and research. But, success involves a wide-ranging network that builds on the partnerships that engage the entire university in planning for the future."
The university-wide eLearning Committee launched its strategic planning process at a kickoff event on Feb 25 at U Square. Students, faculty and staff will work in partnership throughout the next 12-to-18 months to create the roadmap for UC’s Third Century vision to “excel in eLearning.”
