Distance Learning Week Announced
Sep 29th, 2007
Mark your calendars…the United States Distance Learning Association is proclaiming November 12-16th "Distance Learning Week." They'll use the occasion to spread the word about online learning and its potential.
Here's a blurb from the USDLA's Distance Learning Week press release:
"The United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) will hold the 2007 National Distance Learning Week (NDLW), November 12 -16, 2007. NDLW is an initiative that will generate broader awareness and appreciation for distance learning within the areas of pre-k-12 education, higher and continuing education, home schooling, as well as business, corporate, military, government, and telehealth markets. Since 1987, USDLA has been the world's premier distance learning association…USDLA defines distance learning as the acquisition of knowledge and skills through mediated information and instruction, encompassing all technologies and other forms of learning at a distance. This week-long event will also be publicized in "Distance Learning Today," a USDLA sponsored quarterly supplement in USA TODAY. Distance Learning Today (DLT) appears in USA TODAY's top-tier markets for distance learning – major commuter hubs, convention centers and hotels. Timed to hit the newsstands Friday, November 9, before National Distance Learning Week, DLT will be read by 2 million people. In addition, the section will be featured on the USDLA website (www.usdla.org), which averages 2.6 million hits per month."
