Digital Learning at UT Tyler

The Office of Digital Learning

Our office partners with colleges and departments across the campuses and both internal and external stakeholders to advance the mission of the University and improve learning outcomes in undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education.

Our team serves courses delivered in online, hybrid, and face-to-face modalities and consists of two major areas of focus: Learning Systems Support and Instructional Design.

The Learning Systems Support team includes our LMS administrator, learning technologies analyst, and two support specialists who work alongside faculty and staff to support the learning, collaboration, and academic integrity platforms used across the university.

The Instructional Design team includes an Instructional Designer who focuses on designing engaging learning experiences across modalities and two Instructional Design Associates who focuses on course design and user experience across digital learning platforms.
