Enhancing Education Through Technology

On-Ground Learning: All on-ground courses are supported by a state-of-the-art learning management system. Innovative technology connects students simply and easily to course materials, to each other, and to faculty and staff, and facilitates social interaction across the entire university.
Online Learning: A pioneer in online education, Saint Leo has been offering online programs since 1998, and that tradition of innovation continues today. Supplement courses you take in traditional on-ground classrooms with internet-based courses offered through our Center for Online Learning.
Video Teaching and Teleconferencing: VTT technology connects students and instructors across Saint Leo locations. In a VTT classroom, you actively participate and collaborate on academic projects in real-time through the streaming of video, audio and content from a PC, laptop or document camera.
Internet Connected Classrooms: ICC technology meets the unique needs of mobile professionals who are not able to attend traditional or VTT classes. Through ICC, students participate in a live, active-learning environment from any location in the United States or around the globe where they have high-speed internet access and a web camera – at home, from a hotel, or even aboard a Navy ship.
