Our mission is to be regarded as the campus experts on quality course design by collaborating with faculty on research-based design principles, with the aim to support Weber’s mission of improving student success. We empower faculty to create quality course materials by providing access to eLearning tools, including learning management systems and digital tutoring platforms. Weber State University's learning management system is Canvas. We support faculty and students who use these tools so they have a seamless digital educational experience. We are part of the Division of Online and Continuing Education and are located in the Digital District in Lampros Hall. Meet our team!
