Welcome to the College of Innovative Learning, Learning Ventures, the home of UT online/distance education. When you enroll in online courses you join over 5 million students doing so nationwide. UT will enroll nearly 10,000 students in more than 1,300 courses this year (with more than 27,000 total course enrollments.) Online courses are taught by faculty who care about your learning experience.

The benefits of pursuing your accredited online education at The University of Toledo include:

• Learning from world-class tenured faculty;
• Networking with other motivated students from around the world;
• Gaining the knowledge and credentials you need for 21st Century careers; and,
• Receiving Support Services from Learning Ventures, a department dedicated to customer service for online students.

The University’s online courses give students in Ohio and beyond the opportunity to participate in UT’s world class education and take courses from a variety of discipline areas. Our focus is to enrich your educational experience. We bring UT’s tradition of learning to the student, preparing you to compete in today’s work place. 

Student learning is assessed in a variety of ways: through online discussion participation, assignments and term papers that are emailed to faculty, as well as through traditional multiple choice, short answer and essay examinations. Some online courses may require that examinations be proctored, in which case Learning Ventures staff will be glad to help with these arrangements in your geographical area.

In addition to online courses, UT offers numerous Web assisted course sections designed to enhance learning. A Web assisted (WA) course is taught in the traditional (face to face) classroom setting and utilizes the web to enhance delivery of the course content.

We provide students who enroll in online courses the capability of completing courses in a flexible online environment, that is, without the limitations of time or location. Enrolling in online learning gives students flexibility whether your interest is in a course or two, a certificate program, completing a college degree or supplementing your learning endeavors.

The University of Toledo is accredited by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the North Central Association and is authorized to offer degrees online.

Learning Ventures has received the “Best Practices in Students Services” designation from the Ohio Learning Network. This designation is awarded to institutions that provide comprehensive information and services for online students as outlined in OLN’s Principles of Best Practices.

Take a course or complete a degree and realize the enriching experience of learning in a flexible online environment.  Contact us today via e-mail, or visit the Learning Ventures staff list.
