Mission

Enhance education through technology

Vision

Create a culture of change to embrace technology and innovation

NMDELT stands for New Mexico Distance Education and Learning Technologies. 

As a branch of the Propel initiative, we are a team of adult education practitioners from around the state of New Mexico who provide support and training related to online and blended learning in adult education. We work with our fellow educators to implement and support best practices. 

We offer training and support for various learning technologies including:
