Partnerships & Opportunities
Research Opportunities
RIDIL provides faculty researchers and other partners with opportunities to contribute to the study and practice of online education. RIDIL’s initiatives include:
1. Sharing faculty research related to online teaching and learning via white papers and/ or videos. Research needs to be conducted within the past five years and explore effective practices and technology tools for online teaching and learning in higher education. Financial compensation is provided. Access more information in our latest Announcement
2. Partnering with faculty and other colleagues who are studying online education topics, such as artificial intelligence, virtual/augmented reality, and online assessments.
We invite you to contact us at ridil@odu.edu for more information regarding either of these two opportunities.
