The DELO Testing Center provides proctored testing services to Distance Learning students. The Testing Center also assists WKU students in finding proctored testing sites near their homes and sends out exams to those testing facilities.
There are two testing center locations in Bowling Green to serve students, as well as testing locations at each of the WKU Regional Campuses in Elizabethtown/ Radcliff/ Fort Knox, Glasgow, and Owensboro.
Technology Services for Online Teaching (TSOnline) supports faculty teaching online at Western Kentucky University. The core goal of TSOnline is to provide faculty with a one–stop shop for all their concerns and needs in terms of online teaching and learning.
With this aim in mind, staff at the TSOnline Center research, develop, and assess best practices for web-based instructional technologies that can potentially enhance student learning.
