NCES used the Postsecondary Education Quick Information System (PEQIS) to provide current national estimates on distance education at 2-year and 4-year Title IV-eligible, degree-granting institutions. Distance education was defined for this study as education or training courses delivered to remote (off-campus) sites via audio, video (live or prerecorded), or computer technologies, including both synchronous (i.e., simultaneous) and asynchronous (i.e., not simultaneous) instruction. Data were collected on a variety of topics related to distance education, including the number and proportion of institutions offering distance education courses during the 2000–2001 12-month academic year, distance education enrollments and course offerings, distance education degree and certificate programs, distance education technologies, participation in distance education consortia, accommodations in distance education courses for students with disabilities, distance education program goals, and factors that keep institutions from starting or expanding distance education offerings. http://connect.educause.edu/display/35381#comments E-Learning Contributed by Organizations or Campuses Articles, Papers, and Reports Government Documents, Laws, Testimonies or Reports HTML PDF Fri, 01 Aug 2003 12:20:24 -0500 drupal 35381 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/35308 The TEACH Act of 2002 as enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress. http://connect.educause.edu/display/35308#comments E-Learning Federal Copyright Law TEACH Act Contributed by Organizations or Campuses Government Documents, Laws, Testimonies or Reports HTML PDF Mon, 12 May 2003 15:43:11 -0500 drupal 35308 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/34376 Over the past five years, the application of copyright law to distance education using digital technologies has become the subject of public debate and attention in the United States.

It also explores how those who taught such classes differed from those who did not in terms of workload, compensation, interaction with students, classroom practices, and job satisfaction. Overall, those who taught distance classes had a higher workload than those who did not. They were also more likely to communicate with their students by e-mail and to use Web sites for their classes. http://connect.educause.edu/display/34231#comments Compensation E-Learning MPR Associates Surveys Teaching Contributed by Organizations or Campuses Articles, Papers, and Reports Government Documents, Laws, Testimonies or Reports HTML Tue, 05 Mar 2002 15:45:45 -0600 drupal 34231 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/34112 THE U.S. Senate has passed a bill that would allow faculty members to use many of the same copyrighted works in online courses that they've long been allowed to use in traditional ones. http://connect.educause.edu/display/34112#comments E-Learning Federal Copyright Law Library of Congress Contributed by Organizations or Campuses Government Documents, Laws, Testimonies or Reports HTML Tue, 12 Jun 2001 09:43:09 -0500 drupal 34112 at http://connect.educause.edu
