Summary

This file contains data from a 1997-98 survey on the participation of postsecondary education institutions in distance education programs ("Distance Education at Postsecondary Education Institutions"). The survey was completed by the administrators at postsecondary education institutions most knowledgeable about the institutions' technology and distance education programs. These administrators were asked about distance education programs and technology used at their institutions. Questions covered the number of distance education courses and enrollments both overall and within specific disciplines, availability of degree, certificate, and graduate programs, differences in tuition and fees for distance education and regular courses, technology used to deliver distance education courses, and future plans for distance education, especially concerning the type of technology to be used.
