| 21st Century Best Practices Award for Distance Learning |
The USDLA Board also recognized the leadership of trend-setting and innovative corporations and non-profit agencies with its new 21st Century Best Practices Award for Distance Learning. This is the highest award bestowed upon an organization in our industry.
The new 21st Century Best Practices Award for Distance Learning recognizes an organization which demonstrates extraordinary achievement through distance learning. The recipients have distinguished themselves in areas that include research and writing as well as leadership activities in regional, national, or international forums. They have been active in melding education and training technologies to enhance the learning experience of those at a distance. These recipients are singled out for their positive impact on the distance learning industry.
Dr. Flores noted that distance learning technology frequently opens new frontiers of learning. “The recipients of the 21st Century Award have often been the pioneers, not only for distance learning, but for education and training in general. This award speaks of innovation and it speaks of excellence. These are the people and organizations that have done the heavy-lifting to make all of this happen.” |
