Our Mission

The Division of Digital Learning utilizes Lamar University’s core strengths and elevates the overall quality of our education and scholarship through the application of the latest technologies, modalities, and third-party solutions to deliver online programs and course offerings.

The Division enhances Lamar University’s educational programs and student services by providing access to populations that would otherwise be unable to participate in a high-quality education. Through technology-rich learning environments for both online and traditional campus-based programs, the Division fosters academic innovation.

Using professional development and support services for faculty members, the Division of Digital Learning strives to enhance systems, metrics, and data that inform decision-making regarding distance education and educational technologies. The division plays a vital role in Lamar University’s ability to provide leading-edge environments for our students, faculty, and staff.
