Why, Hello. I’m glad you’ve found your way to the United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) website. As I hope you may already know or discover as you peruse our pages, our mission is to support the development and application of distance learning while representing the community across a variety of constituencies.
The USDLA formed in 1987. That’s right, we’re celebrating 30 years! During that time we have consistently focused our activities on our goals which include providing national leadership, advocating and promoting the use of distance learning, recognizing outstanding achievements in distance learning, and developing partnerships locally and globally in an effort to highlight diversity, equity, and access to lifelong learning through distance learning.
At the USDLA, we strive to help you “learn from a community that is broader than your own” by bringing together representatives from pre K-12, Higher Education, Continuing Education, Corporate, Military & Government, Home Schooling, and Telehealth both nationally and internationally.
Welcome!
Ken Conn
2017 USDLA President
