Why join CTER?

Here are some of the reasons that you should consider the CTER program:

• Excellent Tech Support: We have dedicated technical support staff that will help you resolve technical issues as quickly as possible. We share support issues so that you do not have to repeat your problems to different support staff.
• Access to Cutting-Edge Open Source Software: We continually search and test open source (free) software that can be used in classrooms for effective teaching and learning. Our technology courses are updated each year to introduce technology that you can immediately bring into your classroom or workplace, often at no-cost.
  
• Technology Orientation Online: We provide training on most of the software applications you'll use in our courses before you start the program. As a result, you can spend more time on course content rather than technical support when you take our courses.
• Experience in Online Education: CTER was launched in 1998 and has been one of the most successful online programs in the College of Education at the University of Illinois. Our student retention rate has been over 90%. We have continuously adopted new technologies to better serve our students and instructors. We also share our expertise through presentations and tutorials.
