Launched in 1999, MarylandOnline (MOL) is one of the country’s most longstanding state online education consortia. With 20 member colleges and universities, MOL’s mission is to promote online education in Maryland and support member institutions through expertise, networking, and advocacy.
MarylandOnline’s activities and services include an annual professional development webinar series, the MOL Leadership Institute (MOLLI), the MOL Seat Bank, and the MOL Database of Online Learning Information (DOLLI).
Throughout its history, MOL has fostered collaborative projects and programs among its members. Some projects, such as the early training of 4,000 Maryland faculty to teach online and the creation of Quality Matters, have earned state and national recognition.
Membership in MOL is open to all Maryland higher education institutions, public and private, licensed by the Maryland Higher Education Commission and accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.
