Online and Digital Learning (ODL)
Online & Digital Learning (ODL) encompasses instructional practices that effectively
use technology and evidence-based practice to strengthen teaching and learning. We
support an understanding of course/program design that engages students in learning
that is meaningful, relevant, and accessible to all. It recognizes that individual
experiences and backgrounds strengthen rigor and enrich the classroom experience.
ODL can encompass many different understandings, techniques, tools, digital content
and resources, and applications to support and empower teachers and students, in all
educational environments including online, hybrid, and face to face. ODL works to
increase access to educational opportunities, improve student success, as well as
providing instructors with the knowledge and tools to teach all students.
