Distance Education at College of the Desert has a long tradition of delivering courses to our students in a variety of subjects. Originally developed using an in-house learning management system with four of courses being taught, our DE program has now evolved to offering over 140 sections a year fully online or in hybrid formats in addition to the many face-to-face courses that utilize technology in myriad ways.
As the state's Online Education Initiative (OEI) takes off this year, College of the Desert is looking to grow its online program in order to ensure our students have access to courses across the system for years to come.
