WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, April 19, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Each year, USDLA recognizes innovators and leaders within the distance/digital learning industry as part of our International Award program. These highly coveted awards are presented annually to organizations and individuals who compete across several categories of excellence. The USDLA International Distance Learning Awards are created to acknowledge major accomplishments in distance learning and to highlight those distance learning instructors, programs, and professionals who have achieved and demonstrated extraordinary achievements through the use of online learning techniques, innovation, and video delivery technologies globally.

All awards are presented at our annual national conference. For more than 3 decades, this event has been an opportunity to mingle, discuss technology and learn from an audience broader than our own. Attendees and award winners look forward to the live in-person interactions and historical conference feedback has always focused on those personal relationships made with one another. For our 37th anniversary will be focusing on tracks that are in high demand as we continue to navigate both remote and in-person learning strategies.

“Every year, the United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) presents awards in five categories.” says Chuck Sengstock, President of USDLA. “This international awards program recognizes the best of the best in distance learning. The USDLA is proud of this year’s winners and pleased to recognize their accomplishments”.

Annual award winners are recognized by the Association at the USDLA National Conference Awards luncheon and presented a physical award. To learn more about the 2024 National Conference, June 17-20, in St. Louis, MO please visit us at https://usdla.org/2024-national-conference/.

The United States Distance Learning Association was founded in 1987 and based on the premise of creating a powerful alliance to meet the burgeoning education and training needs of learning communities via new concepts of the fusion of communication technologies with learning in broad multidiscipline applications. We were the first nonprofit distance learning association in the United States to support distance learning research, development, and praxis across the complete arena of education, training, and communications. The learning communities that the USDLA addresses are: pre-K/12, higher education, continuing education, corporate training, military and government training, home schooling, and telehealth. Our mission is to support the development and application of digital and distance learning by focusing on legislation impacting the community and constituencies.
