A Warm Welcome from All of Us at the OLIT Program.
What is OLIT?
Our program is based on the belief that learning is a life-long process, which is stimulated by active participation, a respect for the individual's past experiences and diversity, critical reflection, and dialogue.
The Organizational Learning and Instructional Technology (OLIT) Program focuses on adult learning, the design, development, delivery, and evaluation of training, organization development, knowledge management, distance education, e-learning, and instructional technology systems. The program can best be described as one that is both theory based and practitioner oriented.
We provide quality education for individuals interested in improving the learning experiences of adults in school, business, government, military, healthcare, and non-profit organizations through the application of instructional practices and organizational technologies that advance individual, group, and organizational learning.
For information regarding application procedures, program descriptions, faculty profiles, and other student resources, please browse this website.
Memorial Service for Dr. Deborah LaPointe
Dr. Deborah LaPointe passed away the morning of Tuesday, May 19, 2009 after a courageous battle against cancer. She was blessed to be surrounded by family and friends at the time of her peaceful passing. As a friend told us,
"Words cannot express the gratitude and appreciation she felt for each one of you who cared for her so unconditionally with the meals and company you provided during her struggle. She said to me often that the care she felt from the OLIT community kept her going much longer than the doctors had predicted."
A scholarship fund has been established in Deb’s name through the College of Education, UNM. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made out to:
