Secretary of Education Richard Riley
Predicts E-Learning Will Change Education!
US
Secretary of Education Richard
W. Riley issued a five-year
report card on American Education during his Seventh Annual
State of American Education Address “Setting New Expectations”
delivered at Southern High School in Durham, North Carolina.
The
report card includes statistics on many aspects of educational
practices including distance education in more than 3500
2 year and 4 year colleges, as well as k-12 schools. In his address,
Secretary Riley said: “In the 21st century, public education
will be different. Education will be more individualized
yet more community based. Public will be less about a
fixed location and fixed schedule, and much more
about learning anytime and anywhere. Technology or E-learning
will penetrate every aspect of American education and change it.”
The
CEO Forum on Education and Technology was founded in
the fall of 1996 to help ensure America's schools effectively
prepare all students to be contributing citizens and productive
workers in the 21st Century.
To
meet this objective, the Forum will issue an annual
assessment of the nation's progress toward integrating technology
into American classrooms through the year 2000.
This
report provides national data on distance education
in postsecondary institutions. Using data collected from both
2- and 4-year postsecondary institutions in the 1997-98 academic
year, it provides estimates on the number of institutions
offering distance education courses, the number of distance
education course offerings and enrollments, and the
number of degree and certification programs offered.
