The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) Postsecondary Education Quick Information System (PEQIS) has made available to the public the results of Distance Education at Degree-Granting Postsecondary Institutions: 2000-2001. This study was designed to provide current national estimates on distance education at 2-year and 4-year Title IV-eligible, degree-granting institutions. For the purposes of this study, distance education was defined as education or training courses delivered to remote sites via audio, video (live or prerecorded), or computer technologies, including both synchronous and asynchronous instruction.
The importance of the PEQIS survey is that it provides national estimates for the 2000-2001 academic year on the number and proportion of institutions offering distance education courses, distance education enrollments and course offerings, degree and certificate programs, distance education technologies, participation in distance education consortia, distance education program goals and factors institutions identify as keeping them from starting or expanding distance education offerings.
The report can be found at http://nces.ed.gov/surveys/peqis/ publications/20030171.
