Distance learning technology such as compressed video may be used by organizations to conduct meetings. Participants can interactively communicate with other sites in real time and reduce travel expenses. The World Wide Web and rapid advances in information technology have increased our capacity to offer interactive courses over the Internet. These courses are taught in an asynchronous format, allowing us greater flexibility to connect people to learning. The net effect of these programs is to enhance both the numbers and diversity of the international student population to the benefit of both the community and the University.
Customized training is offered to meet specific needs of organizations.
Certificates, Continuing Education Units, and even college credit for properly developed courses with sufficient academic rigor are awarded. The Center will look to the newest academic area of Transportation and Logistics to develop programs for incumbent as well as future transportation employees. The Center plans on providing programming to the new Aquaculture Center that will be built in the Ashland, Wisconsin area. Both of these new initiatives will provide new quality educational and employment opportunities for our region.
