MarylandOnline is an organization of collaboration.
Meet our Board of Directors, Officers, and Staff.
MOL supports our member institutions’ online faculty, students, courses, and programs by serving three primary roles:
MOL’s goal is to help MOL’s member institutions excel in the practice of online education. The consortium incubates new products and services that leverage collaboration among members, promotes and delivers professional development for online faculty and administrators, and, through its online-focused leadership institute, prepares leaders in the field.
MOL’s primary goal is to facilitate networking among stakeholders. The consortium addresses common challenges in online education by fostering the sharing of information, ideas, and resources among member institutions. Through direct services or access to information, members also benefit from MOL’s collaborations with other online education organizations in Maryland and beyond.
Founded in 1999, MarylandOnline (MOL) is among the country’s most long-established state online education consortia. MOL’s mission is to advance excellence in the practice of online higher education and to support its 19 member Maryland colleges and universities through expertise, networking, and advocacy.
Throughout its history, MOL has fostered collaborative projects and programs among its member institutions, some earning national recognition. In 2000, MOL received a grant from the Maryland Higher Education Commission to train 4,000 Maryland faculty to teach online, putting Maryland at the national
forefront of the online education movement. In 2003, MOL won a three-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education to create Quality Matters (QM),an organization for online education quality assurance. QM now serves more than 1,500 member institutions in the U.S. and internationally.
MOL’s current activities and services include course and program sharing through the MOL Seat Bank and CPEX, an annual professional development webinar series, the MOL Leadership Institute (MOLLI), and the MOL Database of Online Learning Information (DOLLI). MOL serves its members by being the
voice for online higher education in Maryland and the monitor of new developments in our field.
Membership in MOL is open to all public and private Maryland higher education institutions licensed by the Maryland Higher Education Commission and accredited by a federally recognized institutional
accrediting commission.
MarylandOnline (MOL) is a future-focused consortium of Maryland higher education institutions that serve its members through expertise, networking, and advocacy, drawing on the strengths of its member institutions to advance excellence in online education and fuel student success.
MOL will be recognized as a resource for the leadership, collaboration, and best practices needed to help Maryland higher education institutions achieve excellence in students’ online education.
