SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)

Higher education; Office of Learning Technology. Creates the Office of Learning Technology within the State Council of Higher Education to facilitate and coordinate the voluntary participation of public and private institutions of higher education in the Commonwealth that are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in technology-enriched learning initiatives.

The Office is charged with establishing and administering agreements with nonprofit public and private institutions of higher education in the Commonwealth and other entities for the identification of unmet needs for technology-enriched educational programs and opportunities and the development and delivery of technology-enriched initiatives, including distance and distributed learning initiatives, for currently served populations and underserved constituencies. In addition, the Office must (i) review technology-enriched learning initiatives and make recommendations to the Council regarding unnecessary duplication in such initiatives; (ii) assist in the development of standards for improving access to, training for, and efficiency in such learning initiatives; and (iii) enter into contracts for related program development. This measure is identical to HB 2227.
