Centre for Distance Education > Why CD-ED?

Welcome to the CD-ED faculty page. The CD-ED faculty is here to provide students with toll-free and on-line assistance. Students are encouraged to talk with the CD-ED faculty on a continuous basis so that they may develop a typical student/teacher relationship.

The CD-ED faculty members are referred to as Instructors. These instructors are fully qualified and licensed with the Department of Education and Training. All the faculty members possess university degrees and/or several years of related work experience.

Throughout her career, Lori has held several positions in the industry, including Course Counselor, Director of Student Services, Director of Educational Services, and Director of Operations. Lori is here to answer all of your administrative questions and help you overcome any problems that you may encounter.
