Dear Valued Client:
It's April -- a month that brings us showers, taxes and yes, National Chocolate Mousse Day. And here at Dallas TeleLearning, the month of April is chock full of conferences.
Earlier this month, members of our staff attended and exhibited at the American Association of Community Colleges Annual Conference (AACC) in Phoenix, Ariz. And according to a report released at the event, community colleges continue to see increases in enrollments, with numbers growing 11.3 percent from fall 2006 to fall 2007. Yet with all the growth, administrators are still facing challenges and constraints when it comes to expanding distance learning programs and maintaining a level of high quality.
Whatever your challenges may be, Dallas TeleLearning is here to help with our extensive arsenal of courseware and our Digital Resource Repository for face-to-face, online or hybrid courses.

Taking Top Honors
The Digital Resource Repository has been awarded the 2008-2009 Dallas County Community College District's Learning Technology Innovation of
the Year for its intuitive, interactive and instructionally sound content.
Great Clips
The Writer's Circle: English Composition I and The Writer's Odyssey: English Composition II courses are ready for your viewing (and purchasing) pleasure. Our popular English courses have been divided into 26 topics with interactive flash activities and transformed into succinct segments on everything from finding hidden arguments in writing, to quick tips on active versus passive voice.

The drawing for the complimentary fall subscription to the Repository will take place on April 30th. The winner will be notified immediately.
Faculty FeedbackBryan Maertins, Coordinator of Educational Technology and VCT Coordinator at Texas State Technical College Marshall, says his experience with the Digital Resource Repository has been a good one. "Our division directors were pleased with what they saw and heard, and want to continue perusing the repository on their own," he says. "Having the ability to grow the repository by adding content, as well as having diversity in the choice of learning objects available is also a big plus." |
