Did you know this is National Distance Learning Week? The United States Distance Learning Association has called for a week-long campaign beginning November 9 to increase the awareness of distance learning among K-12, higher education and corporations.
“This week was developed to celebrate and create greater awareness of distance learning and to recognize leaders as well as best practices in the field,” said Kenneth Hartman, national committee chair and academic director of Drexel University Online.
According to the sponsors of this event, online learning is the fastest growing segment of education with 3.5 million adults and 700,000 K-12 students taking a course and or completing their degree completely online.
