Faculty Fellows

Whether leading workshops on NC State’s campus, sharing best practices via articles or presenting at conferences, the DELTA Faculty Fellows are building a stellar reputation.

Renaming DE

In summer of 2016, NC State Distance Education changed their name to NC State Online and Distance Education. The new name provided the perfect opportunity to redesign the website to showcase NC State’s great programs and appeal more broadly to potential students.

Testing Refresh

In the 2015-2016 fiscal year, DELTA Testing Services underwent many changes. The biggest change was the physical relocation of the Centennial Test Center from Venture II to Venture IV in September 2015 to better accommodate the increasing number of students.

Exploring VR

DELTA began working with VR nearly three years ago. Realizing its importance and potential in education, DELTA has been increasingly incorporating 360° photography, video and VR technology into instructional projects.

Instructional Enrichment

Videos have been used at NC State for decades. With advances in video technologies and production capabilities, DELTA continues to see a return on investment in equipment, personnel and research as it creates videos that enhance learning.

Transforming Education

Four of the 2015-2016 DELTA Grants projects concentrated on providing solutions for students who want to help themselves. DELTA teams created applications and media-rich interactive devices to promote learning outside of the class or lab.

WolfWare Outreach Grows

Did you know that NC State offers the only online non-credit insect rearing course in the world? The university and DELTA have been assisting in the outreach of similarly unique non-credit programs and courses throughout the past year via WolfWare Outreach.
