Instructional Technology, Support, and Professional Development Department

The Instructional Technology, Support, and Professional Development (ITSPD) department works in conjunction with faculty, staff, and students in designing and maintaining instructional technology in the traditional, virtual, and online classroom environments.  

Our goal is to create learning opportunities for students to succeed at Delgado Community College through excellent support, information resources, and training.   We offer faculty and staff training and professional development to uphold student learning and success as a foundational value.

Are you ready to take an online course?

What does it mean to be ready to take an online course?

Though online classes may seem like less work, they are often more labor intensive than the traditional classroom.  Regardless of the topic, online courses require self-direction, organization, academic skills, techincal skills, and more.  ITSPD will do its best to support you to become ready for online courses or to make it through with guides and resources!

Why should you make sure you are ready to take an online course?

Students taking online courses often underestimate the time and effort required to succeed. It is important to do a self-assessment to see if you are ready for an online course or need to take any steps to get ready before taking an online course.  ITSD is here to help!

Learning Online is Similar to Learning On Campus

Students who learn online earn the same credits and degrees as students taking classes on campus. As an online student, you have access to all Delgado resources and opportunities as you work towards meeting your educational and professional goals!

Choosing between an online or on-campus class depends on the student. For some, the business of work and family makes online learning a good option. For others, taking an online class is a chance to use the Internet and technology to drive their own learning forward.

• guide you in your program of study to reach your career goals

You will even learn about what learning style you prefer and how to use that knowledge to benefit most from academic activities.

Please consider CCSS-100 as part of your course selection this semester. We look forward to serving you.
