Counter to the old adage, the US Department of Education is looking to fix something that many argue ain't broke...
Right now, distance education is being reviewed and new regulations are being considered in the name of consumer protection.
It's believed that the US Department of Education is operating under the misconception that distance education is somehow less than traditional in-person education. But, Dr. Van Davis couldn't disagree more. Distance education is high-quality, deliberately designed, accessible education. He believes that the proposed regulations would be disastrous to distance learners, educators and institutions if passed.
In this episode, Dr. Davis guides us through the three biggest issues that have distance education providers and educators very worried. The big three, if passed, will have serious ramifications for distance learning for students, educators, and institutions across the US. He also shares his insights on:
* Why time is of the essence
* How you can make your voice heard
* How the proposed rules would negatively impact access to distance education
* Where to find resources and information (like these blogs by WCET)
* How SARA and NC-SARA work
If you have any questions about the proposed regulations and what they could mean for distance ed you are welcome to connect with the WCET for more information.
