Online Resource Center opens on Library Avenue

9:54 a.m., Aug. 1, 2005--UD has opened a new Online Resource Center at 850 Library Ave. The staff moved in July 30, and opened their doors for business on Monday, Aug. 1.

“Because more and more campus students enroll in UD Online courses, we are relocating to this larger space to enhance quality and continuity in fulfillment of student support functions,” Dayle Thorpe, director of academic and professional programs, said.

The new center houses support staff for UD Online courses for both faculty and students and features a computer-based testing facility, where most of the exams for UD Online courses will be administered. The center also will serve as a pick-up and drop-off location for videotapes and CD-ROMs.

“By administering proctored computer-based exams, we will be able to accommodate the 30 percent growth we are experiencing each semester,” Thorpe said.

Office hours will be 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m., Mondays-Fridays, and testing hours will be 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Mondays; 10 a.m.­5 p.m., Tuesdays; 10 a.m.-8 p.m., Wednesdays; 10 a.m.­8 p.m., Thursdays; and 10 a.m.­5 p.m., Fridays.
