Our next issue, the seventh edition of Distance Learning Today, will be published to coincide withthe USDLA sponsored National Distance Learning Week. This is an extraordinary opportunity to advertise in the only consumer publication for distance learners.

Welcome to Distance Learning Today, a quarterly supplement to USA TODAY, published in partnership with the United States Distance Learning Association. Distance Learning Today is the only publication that reaches out to the rapidly growing number of online learners with relevant articles and information.
 
A recent national survey conducted among business leaders showed that 83 percent strongly believe that a degree earned online is as credible as a degree earned through a traditional, campus-based program. That is a tremendous endorsement for online learners, and demonstrates the vigor and completeness of online programs and the self-discipline and motivation of all online students. The USDLA realizes that distance learning is a phenomenon that will continue to grow, and that both students and institutions need insights and guidance to take personal and professional advantage of distance learning. That is what we are doing with this magazine and our website www.dltoday.net.
 
Our November 6 issue will be published in conjunction with the news and celebrations surrounding National Distance Learning Week. That should provide added stimulus to that issue. And we have put online at www.dltoday.net a comprehensive guide for current and potential online learners. This site provides our advertisers with an excellent supplemental advertising opportunity.
 
Advertising in Distance Learning Today is a unique opportunity for any organization seeking to grow their online “business. We urge you to consider Distance Learning Today very carefully, and inquire as to our various packages and media buying efficiencies.
