About Us.
Auburn Online is a creative unit of the Office of the Provost that enables innovation in the design, development, illustration and delivery of engaging learning experiences.
We partner with faculty to plan and create instructional materials for students that deliver content with practice opportunities and meaningful assessment of their learning for online, on-campus and non-credit courses.
Auburn Online is multi-disciplinary; we don't shy away from the complex. We are motivated, humble,and pragmatic visionaries invested in improving student learning and your course. And we are in it for the long haul, focused on outcomes and fueled by an insatiable desire to drive change.
Auburn Online believes in giving all students an equal opportunity to learn. We employ the framework of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to address the learning variability among students. By having multiple means of engagement, representation, action and expression, Auburn Online extends education to reach all learners and ensures Auburn meets its legal ADA and Section 508 requirements.
