Mission:

To support the development and application of distance learning, education and training (DLE&T) by uniting learners around the world.

In 1987, the USDLA was founded on the premise of creating a powerful alliance to meet the burgeoning education and training needs of learning communities globally.

Learning, education and training communities include:

Corporate Training - Pre K-12 - Higher Education

Home Schooling - Continuing Education

Mission & Purpose

The global education and training market is currently estimated at $2 trillion, out of which the U.S.A has a share of $740 billion.

Schools expect the number of online students to grow to over 2.6 million.

e-Learning is now estimated to represent about 10% of the overall training and educational market.

90% fully online students aged 25 or older, 20% of adult students are online

Geography matters in online higher education and will matter more in future.

1.5 million 100% online students, representing approximately 8.5% of all students at US degree-granting, Title IV eligible schools and 20% of adult students,

Certain 100% online schools are strategically securing licensure in multiple states/ potential state regulation liability of online delivery cannot be dismissed.

Student preference for 100% online delivery stable, consumer tradeoffs between preference and practicality suggests strong market growth potential.
