Online Library Learning Initiative (OLLI)

Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning (DECAL), is pleased to announce the launch of the Online Library Learning Initiative (OLLI), a virtual warehouse of online learning modules and video podcasts designed specifically for the Early Learning Community teaching children from birth to age five. OLLI houses a collection of short courses and video podcasts designed to enhance the quality of education for Georgia's youngest students and keep them healthy and safe, by improving the standards of practice for early learning. In difficult economic times, early childhood educators can’t always get to the latest seminar and budgets for professional development are stretched more than ever. This online resource allows everyone with Internet access to share in recent professional development opportunities. DECAL created OLLI in partnership with Georgia State University through a grant from the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. To access OLLI, simply go to www.olli.decal.ga.gov. All of the services available through OLLI are offered free of charge.
