  2. Strategic considerations leading to the formation of DELTA • Changes in the UNC funding formula in 98-99 shifted DE from a self-supporting extension activity to a core part of our academic mission • How could we meet the de facto state mandate to make our academic offerings more accessible to NC citizens? • How could we position ourselves to meet the growing campus demand for online instruction, and teaching and learning with technology in general?

  3. Solution • Consolidate campus-wide resources supporting distance education and learning technologies into a single organization under the Office of the Provost • Leverage the synergies of infrastructure, training and support for online teaching and learning, both on campus and at a distance • DELTA (Distance Education and Learning Technology Applications) established in January, 2000
