The General Accounting Office Report on Distance Education (Apr 11 2008 11:46 GMT)
DISTANCE EDUCATION: Improved Data on Program Costs and Guidelines on Quality Assessments Needed to Inform Federal PolicyWhy GAO Did this Study?Distance education—that is, offering courses by Internet, video, or other forms outside the classroom—has changed considerably in recent years and is a growing force in postsecondary education.

Online Teaching And Learning: Faculty Reflections (Apr 11 2008 11:46 GMT)
This poster session held at the Eleventh International World Wide Web Conference, Honolulu, Hawaii reviews faculty perceptions of the outcomes of using online technology in their courses.

Faculty reported that the implementation of their projects prompted them to envision new and more effective ways to teach and that they observed improved student learning. The post-project evaluations also demonstrated, however, that in order to enhance and quantify these improvements, faculty needed to identify and incorporate new assessment strategies.
