Count on DELTA in 2021

Happy New Year, Wolfpack! Last spring semester, the NC State community made an unprecedented shift to remote learning. NC State educators adapted to the online learning environment, explored new teaching tools, and mapped a way forward for your students — many for the first time. All the while, DELTA was there to help. 

Since then, many have become comfortable with the technologies that once felt foreign. You not only know how to teach online but how to engage and connect with your students in new and creative ways. Now, as we begin a mix of in-person, hybrid and online learning for the spring 2021 semester, you are ready, and you can count on DELTA to stand with you and help you take your teaching to new heights.

Here are some helpful resources to make your spring the best it can be.
