National Distance Learning Week 2012

We created an online scavenger hunt which gave students the opportunity to:

• Sample real online courses and organizations in Blackboard.  
• Learn about Wilmington University's Online degree programs.
• View testimonials from students in our online programs.
  

The deadline to complete this online scavenger hunt and be eligible to receive a prize was Sunday, November 25, 2012.Even though the entry deadline has passed, you may still take the scavenger hunt just for fun!

Congrats to Lila K. for winning an iPod touch 16GB White (4th generation).
