For two years I have been privileged to be Executive Editor at Trump University. More than 700,000 individuals have now joined our orgnanization in just a few years, since we opened our virtual doors. I think that alone serves as documentation of the groundswell of interest in electronic, interactive and online learning opportunities. Thank you for helping to increase the awareness of distance learning through your blog.
National Distance Learning Week is such a wonderful idea. It’s great to spread awareness of this growing trend and let people know that online learning is the wave of the future and is not going anywhere but up up up.
