A Rigorous, Diverse, and Engaging Online Community of Practice
We have been offering online courses since the fall of 1989 and attribute our success to a student body that is passionate about instruction, the transfer of learning to the workplace, and impacting performance through data-driven decision-making and evidence-based practice. Our earliest adopters were realizing the potential for online courses in their workplace and provided feedback on how they would leverage online learning. Today’s learners continue to collaborate with faculty on where the next innovation lies and how it may be used to accomplish their goals.
