This book was released on 1991 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is at present an unusually high degree of interest among educators and educational policy makers in the possibilities of improving and expanding elementary and secondary education by incorporating some forms of distance education into traditional schooling. However, no procedures and little funding have been provided for research to find out what issues states consider important, what policies they have implemented or intend to implement, or what the opinions are among policy makers about the future of distance education in the schools. An issue raised by the Office of Technology Assessment in 1989 ("Linking for Learning: A New Course for Education") has to do with the certification of teachers involved in distance education programs, as the teacher certification process varies from state to state, and at times among universities and colleges within a particular state. A survey of chief state school officers in the United States, including the District of Columbia, was conducted in 1990 for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (APB), Organization of State Broadcast Executives (OSBE), and the Southern Educational Communications Association (SECA). Questions were asked regarding state-level involvement in distance education and teacher certification issues. Responses from 41 states (response rate 80%) provided an overview of activity and opinion. These responses are discussed in the context of individual questions in each of the two areas, and it is concluded that, although there is a continuing need for research and education of policymakers, the majority of states appear to recognize the opportunities that exist for distance education through telecommunications, and that they are exploring ways to make education more available through technology. Responses from the individual states to each of nine questions are tabulated in the appendix. (Contains 7 references.) (ALF)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2008, the Center for Digital Education (CDE) conducted a review of state policy and programs to determine the status of online learning policy and practice across the United States. CDE interviewed state education officials across the nation to evaluate the overall landscape of online learning. The rankings reflect the vision, policies, programs and strategies that states have deployed around online learning in an effort to transform their academic environment to meet the needs of students. Certain characteristics deemed to have a greater impact on statewide leadership and education (such as states with state-led online programs and/or significant policy directives) played a more significant role in the rankings than others. CDE has observed that states and school districts are increasingly aware that students are spending more time online than ever before. In response, states are pursuing online education initiatives to better serve their student population and meet the academic demands of students inside and outside of rural areas. School districts continue to be challenged to maintain high levels of academic achievement with decreased funding. Online education enables districts to draw from a larger teacher talent pool and serve students who are geographically dispersed. To date, fifteen states have taken significant steps in online education and have implemented state-led programs. States without online learning programs appear conscious of the trend and are evaluating the feasibility of implementing such programs. CDE concludes online education will continue to expand in the United States as states and school districts continue to face the challenges of meeting student achievement levels, finding qualified teachers and preparing students for careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Individual state analyses are appended. (Contains 1 endnote, 5 figures and 52 tables.)

This book was released on 2005 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nontraditional methods of instructional delivery at the postsecondary level, such as Technology based distance education course offerings, have been a topic of considerable attention and debate. To date, however, no nationally representative study has examined technology based distance education availability, course offerings, and enrollments in the nation?s elementary and secondary schools. To address this gap, the Office of Educational Technology in the U.S. Department of Education requested the "Distance Education Courses for Public Elementary and Secondary School Students" survey to collect and analyze nationally representative data on technology-based distance education in public elementary and secondary school districts. This survey was conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) using the Fast Response Survey System (FRSS). FRSS is designed to administer short, focused, issue-oriented surveys that place minimal burden on respondents and have a quick turnaround from data collection to reporting. Questionnaires for the survey were mailed in fall 2003 to a representative sample of 2,305 public school districts in the 50 states and District of Columbia. The sample was selected from the 2001? 02 NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) "Local Education Agency Universe Survey" file, which was the most current file available at the time of selection. Data have been weighted to yield national estimates. Detailed information about the survey methodology is provided in appendix A, and the questionnaire can be found in appendix B. The findings are presented in five sections: (1) distance education courses for public school students; (2) technologies used for delivering distance education courses; (3) entities delivering distance education courses; (4) reasons for having distance education courses; and (5) future expansion of distance education courses. Includes 23 tables and 4 figures.
