IDL Mission & Goals

Our mission is to help STC members identify and develop knowledge and practical skills for designing, developing, and implementing technical instruction in electronic and traditional classroom settings.

  • Provide a forum and mechanism for the free exchange of knowledge, ideas, and skills.
