Extended University
Extended University sits under the Office of the Provost and is 茄子视频’s hub for online and other nontraditional academic programs, professional training and education, and community enrichment. We strive to increase access to 茄子视频’s outstanding educational opportunities for all who seek them out.
Our departments provide educational services and support for both educators and students interested in alternative modes of teaching and learning. Faculty who are teaching online may interact with two of these departments: 茄子视频 Online and the Center for Instructional Design.
茄子视频 Online
茄子视频 Online is a portfolio of 100% online bachelor's, master's and graduate certificate programs available to students regardless of their location. Most 茄子视频 Online classes are offered in 7-week terms; some are offered in 14 weeks. 茄子视频 Online undergraduate courses are not visible on the Goldmine schedule, but are available on the 茄子视频 Online website. To date, these programs are offered 100% online.
Undergraduate 茄子视频 Online courses are intended for 100% online students. Permission for students seeking traditional degrees to register into an undergraduate 茄子视频 Online course must be requested by emailing ucadvising@utep.edu.
Center for Instructional Design
The Center for Instructional Design (CID) is a department of Extended University which offers online, hybrid and hyFlex course development and assistance to all 茄子视频 faculty. The CID team is focused on providing research-based best practices in instructional design and development as well as instructional technology solutions that can help faculty members and instructors maximize their students’ learning experiences.
CID instructional designers are available to consult with faculty and staff and ensure that
- Course design meets SACSCOC and 茄子视频 standards for quality
- Course materials meet both standards of copyright and ADA compliance as required by SACSCOC and federal law
CID works with faculty who are developing new online courses as well as updating courses that have been previously taught. Please see the Online Course Development Process section of this handbook for more information.
