About OLG
The Online Learning Group is a forum for those who teach, develop, and support online learning. We promote networking, communications, and information sharing. Through monthly meetings at college sites, we work to increase members' knowledge and understanding of online learning, use of technology, pedagogy, and teaching strategies in online environments.
Each meeting we give away door prizes to meeting participants who have signed in! You can get your own copy of it in the MLX.
Respondus and StudyMate is available! 9 Colleges have renewed our license for 2005-2006 and it is available for all faculty and staff at the nine participating Maricopa colleges-- see the access information for details.
