For over a decade, the annual symposium has positioned online faculty, staff of the distance learning department, and the South Texas College community to succeed in the new realities of 21st Century distance learning.
The Distance Learning department is dedicated to fostering effective teaching and learning, best practices, and strategies in online learning and teaching.
