Ray Schroeder is a Professor of Communication and Director of the Office of Technology-Enhanced Learning at the University of Illinois at Springfield. His work with distance education technology over the past three decades has spanned the fields of radio subcarrier, terrestrial and satellite analog/digital microwave, compressed video, and computer based systems. He teaches classes online and assists faculty with transferring their classes from face-to-face delivery to the online delivery.

Ray's work with the CERL PLATO system in the 1970's included linking classes together from distant campuses (i.e. Hawaii and Illinois) for online collaborations. More recently, he used the newer Internet technologies to provide synchronous and asynchronous linkages between students at Heilongjiong University (P.R. China) and UIS. The Office of Technology-Enhanced Learning fosters the development and hosts the delivery of online classes and degree programs from the Springfield campus.
