Distance Education at Degree-Granting Postsecondary Institutions: 2000-2001
This report presents data on distance education at postsecondary institutions. 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. |
