Standing Committee on Distance
Education
Formed in the early 1980s as an
advisory committee to COU, this committee has been
affiliated with OCULL since 1991. It engages in
liaison with government and other agencies, advocates
on behalf of adult distance learners, seeks outside
funding to support research, and undertakes collaborative
projects. The committee also assumes responsibility
for maintaining the distance education
course database, in
cooperation with our colleagues at the Canadian
Association for University Continuing Education.
The Distance Education
Committee often has guest speakers at its monthly
teleconferences.
