The following sites offer a wealth of information regarding the Development and Evaluation of Distance Learning in Education. I found these sites to be very insightful and beneficial.

ACSDE site provides information about The American Journal Of Distance Education, The Distance Education Online Symposium (DEOS), The Research Monograph Series and other publications and information about Americas oldest (1987) and principal Center of Research and Scholarship about Distance Education. Included is a distance education searchable database, an index and abstracts from articles in The American Journal Of Distance Learning.

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.
