Online learning on a different level

When it comes to learning online, not all experiences are created equal. At Oregon State, online learning is different. Oregon State courses:

  • Are developed in collaboration between OSU faculty and instructional designers
  • Use the latest technologies and advanced innovations, most of which are developed by our multimedia developers
