July 2013- Montana was awarded the American Federation of Teachers Innovations Grant.
MEA-MFT(now MFPE) and the Montana Digital Academy (MTDA) partnered with the OPI to design a mechanism by which PD could be delivered to Montana Educators.
The Hub started with 4 courses and 100 users. Currently we have over 100 courses and 1,000s of participants earning units for their professional development programs and licensure.
This allowed for the creation of the Montana Digital Professional Learning Network (MDPLN)
At the conclusion of the grant in 2015, the MDPLN was transformed into the Teacher Learning Hub.
In July of 2023, the Hub will be getting a Moodle update so it will have a new look!
