The Illinois Online Network (ION) is a faculty development initiative, administered by the University of Illinois that provides comprehensive professional development opportunities in the areas of technology integration and online teaching. ION is one of the few statewide faculty development initiatives in the United States that has a direct, positive impact on the attitudes, skills, and knowledge of thousands of faculty members regarding integration of technology into teaching and learning.
ION is now offering its award-winning service to all colleges and universities. The services ION offers include:
