In 2007,
RioLearn, the college’s online learning platform created in 2004, was going full steam ahead. It won the national 2007 Campus Technology Innovators Award in the "portals" category and became the standard for other institutions of higher education to follow.

Also in 2007, Rio Salado began offering 50 start dates a year on 373 general-education courses, more than any other public college in the nation.
In 2008, Rio launched its Textbook Savings Program to help reduce the cost of books for students. Faculty members decide what materials are needed for a course and the textbooks are “designed” to align with the course. Students pay for only the materials they need, reducing the cost of a textbook by an average of 50%.
