The Organizational Learning and Instructional Technology Program of the University of New Mexico offers an innovative online Professional Development Certificate in iLearning – integrated learning into a collaborative work environment. The 12 credit-hour program consists of graduate level courses that focus on developing organizational and technology skills for preparing organizations, agencies, communities, and schools for success in the new knowledge economy.
