Georgia Online Learning & Development

The Georgia Online Learning & Development (GOLD) serves as the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) conduit for distance and technology enhanced education. GOLD manages the system wide Learning Management System (LMS) that is utilized by all the state’s technical colleges and oversees and manages several additional applications that enable, enhance, and support distance and blended education.

The current LMS being utilized by TCSG is Blackboard Ultra. This platform supports the delivery of online content by providing students and instructors a secure logon environment into their virtual classroom. Instructors and/or course developers design, develop, and deliver course content and materials in and through the LMS. Students interact with the content, the instructor, and other students while attending their virtual course.

GOLD strives to ensure that all instructors and/or course developers of the Technical College System of Georgia are afforded a vast array of tools, training, and support assisting them in the development and delivery of the highest quality online content possible.
