Distance Learning Week recognized at DSU


Madison – Dakota State University’s Office of Distance Education will be sponsoring a web site and chat room in honor of Distance Learning Week. 

Distance Learning Week is sponsored by the United States Distance Learning Association, a professional organization whose mission is to promote and advocate distance learning within the K-12, higher education, corporate and government markets.  Senator Ted Kennedy introduced a resolution, passed and adopted by the Senate, declaring distance learning week February 28-March 3. 

A web site (http://www.departments.dsu.edu/disted/dlweek.htm) has been created by DSU’s Office of Distance Education which includes an RealVideo welcome address by Deb Gearhart, Director of Distance Education.  There are also statistics on DSU distance education students, descriptions of services provided to students, and a list of several links related to distance education. 

The web site will also offer a chat room on Wednesday, March 1st from 4:00-5:00 (CST).  The chat room will give people an opportunity to ask questions or make comments about distance education programs.  To participate in the chat room, access the distance learning week web site at http://www.courses.dsu.edu/disted/dlweek.htm

For further information, please contact the DSU Office of Distance Education at 605-256-5049.
