DISTANCE LEARNING
EDP College of Puerto Rico recognizes the importance of technology integration within the educational experience and therefore enhance the quality of higher education opportunities. The Institution aims to provide students with the experience of taking at least one on-line course. This responds to the mission which guides all of the Institutions educational actions. The Office of Distance Education and Technological Development oversees the development of accessible college courses and programs. In 2003-2004 the Institution began the process of offering distance learning courses. During this period the proposed on-line courses had to go through the ACICSs rigorous process of approval. As a result, the Office of Technology Development at EDP was created. This office is responsible for the design and enrichment of new on-line offerings. One of the goals for the 2008-2013 Strategic Plan is to develop a virtual campus. This goal is an indicator of the outcome for this nontraditional modality of study. By comparing the Fall terms of the last two years 2008 and 2009, a significant increase of students (245) enrolled in this mode can be observed.
