Distance Learning Plan, May 2008

The first LBCC DL Plan was written by the DL Task Force in May 2008 and approved by the College Planning Committee in September 2008. An oversight DL Task Force is currently working on implementing the various components of the approved DL Plan, focusing on the LBCC DL strategic offering plan, equality of accessibility, course quality, Faculty Professional Development, and course development standards.


"The question that you have to ask is not who is offering distance learning, but who isn't."
United States Distance Learning Association Executive Director John G. Flores

"The number of students who study online has been increasing at a rate far in excess of the rate of growth in the overall higher education student population... online education has made strong inroads in the core offerings for most types of institutions."
Allen & Seaman, Growing by Degrees, Online Education in the U.S. 2005 (Sloan Foundation study.)
