DISTANCE LEARNING

With almost 10 years spent spreading the word about online degrees, Directory of Schools is excited to see the education community enthusiastically celebrating this National Distance Learning Week, November 12th-16th.

National Distance Learning Week, which was instituted by the United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA), is all about creating an awareness of the success and rapid growth of online education.

Directory of Schools has focused on the higher education end of the spectrum; but e-learning is rapidly trickling down to junior high and high schools as an alternative to traditional classroom learning. These young students are the future of online education.

Of course, DOS continues to add accredited online degree programs to its roster of over 9,000 distance education programs. But we also see the rise in traditional colleges and universities working to expand their offerings of online classes and online associate’s, bachelor’s and graduate degrees.

The Sloan Consortium’s recent report shows that enrollment in online education is growing at a rate remarkably faster than enrollment in on-campus classes. Obviously, this has contributed to the millions of dollars currently being poured into e-learning by public and private educational institutions. 

Directory of Schools continues its commitment to provide information about e-learning, including maintaining a huge database of accredited online degree programs, online colleges and universities, and articles about distance learning. DOS makes it easy for potential students to fill out forms directly on the DOS website so they can receive additional information from selected schools.

This is a great week to open your eyes to the joys and flexibility of distance learning. Slow down, smell the roses and enter this new world of opportunities.
