DET/CHE is a dynamic organization committed to providing professional growth for its membership. Since its organization in 1985, DET/CHE has emerged as a major force in bringing together various sectors of higher education from both public and private colleges and universities.

The network created among Directors of Educational Technology is an invaluable resource for sharing ideas and advancing the fields of instructional technology, multimedia, online learning, and other forms of open education that apply leading-edge technologies and pedagogies.

Mission

DET/CHE was founded in 1985 by media directors who felt a need to discuss shared work interests and problems which were not being addressed by the current professional media organizations. Today, DET/CHE is comprised of a membership cutting across all segments of California higher education - Private Colleges and Universities, the University of California, California State University and California Community Colleges.
