USDLA has been a leading hub for distance learning resources and research for over 30 years, providing self-service access to comprehensive data while encouraging community contributions.

For nearly four decades, USDLA has been a key contributor for all aspects of distance learning. In those early years, distance learning practitioners were too often regarded as a curiosity, at best. That, of course, has changed. No small portion of the credit for this shift is due to researchers who collected data that might both improve our methodologies and inform the public, educational providers and consumers alike, on the benefits of technology-driven education.

 

Current data along with certain landmark studies are available through the links below. We have curated the links in this way to streamline our interface and to enhance the accessibility of our most current data. If you are aware of distance-learning resources which we have overlooked, we encourage you to send us your suggestions at research@usdla.org.
