- Abstract
This article presents information about educational technology. The current effort was really set in motion in 1990 when the campus was given a mission by the university system to exercise a leadership role in enhancing the teaching and learning process through technology. After a number of significant accomplishments, including universal computer access through notebook computers and universal digital portfolio assessment, the university was ready to explore a possible role in online learning as a means to accomplish its mission. In 1998 the campus secured a $1.7 million DOE grant, which was used to develop an infrastructure to support online learning, to build faculty expertise, and to create a complete model online program. Technology Education was chosen as the first online program because it represented an opportunity to revitalize a long-standing program, and because of the clearly defined critical need for technology teachers. STL represents the clearest consensus to date of what technology education can and should do for America. Therefore, the greatest assurance of success for an online program would be found in building on these standards, and it meant starting from scratch with all new content — no compromises.
