The Distance Learning & Technology Integration PD Institute provides evidence-based professional development for distance learning (DL), digital literacy, and the integration of educational technology. The focus of the Institutes is to help educators utilize and apply technology tools, techniques and processes for facilitating learning and assessment as well as support teaching practices to improve learning outcomes for participants.
The new Distance Education Professional Development Center at TCALL has opened a Distance Education Call Center for Texas AEL students and educators. The Call Center is open 7 days a week, from 7 am to 10 pm. Agents are available to answer questions from students and instructors about distance learning programs, Zoom, learning management systems, and other technical issues related to distance education. Reach out to us via our website or call 1-833-498-2255.
