United States Distance Learning Association

The United States Distance Learning Association is a nonprofit organization formed in 1987. The association's purpose is to promote the development and application of distance learning for education and training. The constituents we serve include Pre-K through grade 12 education, higher education, home school education, continuing education, corporate training, military and government training, and telemedicine.

Toward this purpose the United States Distance Learning Association has convened National Policy Forums in 1991, 1997, and 1999 to develop and publish National Policy Recommendations that have been the basis of legislative and administrative proposals in education and telecommunications policy.

The association has become the leading source of information and recommendations for government agencies, Congress, industry and those entering into the development of distance learning programs.

USDLA began a process in 1993 of establishing state chapters in all fifty states. In addition, USDLA has expanded its global role with annual meetings with leaders of distance learning programs in Europe, the Pacific Rim, Asia, and Africa.

USDLA's mission is to support the development
and application of distance learning.
