About the Conference
In a long tradition of honoring National Distance Learning Week (NDLW), in 2022, the United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) will once again host a free, virtual, week-long NDLW conference meant to:
- generate greater awareness and appreciation for distance learning;
- celebrate distance learning applications in K-12, telehealth, higher education, corporate, and government/military;
- discuss current issues and emerging trends;
- highlight best practices;
- recognize leaders in the field.
The theme for NDLW 2022 15th anniversary edition is leadership across all aspects of distance learning. We therefore encourage proposals focused on distance education, practice, and research.

Anniversary Conference Logo
For the last 14 years, we loved an NDLW logo that was beginning to deteriorate with the modifications made to it year after year. Here is our trusted logo, as last used:
To celebrate our 15th anniversary, we have commissioned a new logo, designed for us by the talented Daniela Mastropierro. This new logo pays homage to our old one, keeping our color palette as well as our traditional clean and crisp lines. This updated logo design will take us into the next decade, as we mark a new level of maturity in distance learning in the United States, while staying rooted in the valuable lessons of the past.
