Instructional Technology & CCIT

Delaware Tech recognizes the vital role that technology plays in producing job-ready graduates and is committed to integrating a wide range of emerging technologies into the teaching and learning process.

In many of our classrooms and laboratories, students can expect to find state-of-the art technology that provides hands-on learning experiences that mirror the technology that students will find in the workplace. For example, Delaware Tech's nursing program uses highly-sophisticated mannequins that simulate the systems of the human body. And our FAA-certified aviation maintenance program provides students with hands-on experience with modern aircraft technology.

The College has also established the Center for Creative Instruction and Technology (CCIT), committed to discovering new and innovative ways to use educational technologies and instructional strategies in order to enhance student learning experiences. CCIT strives to foster collaborative partnerships between instructors and students and works to keep abreast of national trends and best-practices. Through research, CCIT works to implement new teaching methods, curricula, and technologies aimed at improving student retention and learning.
