In this world of rapid technological change, UTEP is continually challenged with providing educational opportunities to non-traditional students. Typically, non-traditional students are people who simply do not have the time to attend face-to-face classes on a full-time basis. Since the majority of our student population is non-traditional students, and our mission is to serve our local population, UTEP is encouraging and developing a strong online learning program.

• Provide students with opportunities to participate in various university study programs through the use of technology-based media and methods for delivery of instruction.
• Serve as the campus focal point for planning and policy development of online and asynchronously distributed instruction related to technology-based systems.

• Work jointly with faculty, staff, and students to design and adapt instructional material for distance learning delivery via the Internet, CD ROM and interactive videoconferencing technology.
• Provide training and support to faculty, staff, and students in the design of on-line and web-based instructional materials.
• Serve as the campus focal point for technology-based consultation, planning and policy development in the areas of online education, asynchronous and distributed technology-based instruction, and Internet delivered education.
