National Distance Learning Week

November 9 -13, 2009

National Distance Learning Week seeks to promote and celebrate the tremendous growth and accomplishments occurring today in distance learning programs offered by schools, businesses, and governmental departments.

Currently, over 3.5 million college students are taking online course and/or earning online college degrees. At the secondary school level, over 700,000 high school students are taking one or more courses online, and nearly 40 states have established state-wide or state-lead virtual schools. Michigan became the first state in 2007 to require high school students take at least one online course for graduation.

During the week of November 9-13, schools, colleges, and other organizations will be showcasing their programs for current and prospective students. Additionally, the USDLA will be conducting a series of free webinars during NDLW, showcasing various types of distance learning providers.

Government and educational leaders throughout the country will be voicing their support for NDLW, including Massachusetts Senator, Edward M. Kennedy, Chairman of the US Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.

Thank you for your support of NH e-Learning for Educators, OPEN NH, and Online Learning.

National Distance Learning Week is sponsored by the United States Distance Learning Association.
