What is Distance Learning?Desmond Keegan’s Definition:“Distance learning and training result from the technological separation of teacher and learner which frees the

student from the necessity of traveling to a fixed place, at a fixed time, to meet a fixed person, in order to be trained.”

Do you want to improve your content knowledge and

teaching skills, but need to do so at a time that works for

your busy schedule?

Distance learning is an excellent way to move forward on your own professional development responsive to your schedule and needs.

• No classes to attend! • No substitutes to find! • No travel funds to

expend!

Why

Distance Learning is Anytime, Anywhere Learning
