ADEC Distance Education Consortium
Posted by ADEC Distance Education Consortium on 6/20/06
The driving vision behind the organization is the
extension of educational content and opportunity beyond
the traditional boundaries of the university walls, to
serving not simply on-campus students but lifelong
learners, broader domestic and international communities,
under-served populations and even K-12 schools and the
corporate/business community.
Through ADEC, members engage in a teaching and learning
model that epitomizes a university without walls that is
open, accessible, and flexible. The model seeks to provide
instructional delivery and/or access anywhere, anytime,
and to virtually anyone who seeks it.
Primary emphasis is placed on educational and
informational programs and services that fall within the
traditional areas of competitive advantage for land-grant
institutions. Specifically, this includes programs related
to food and agriculture; nutrition and health; environment
and natural resources; community and economic development;
and children, youth, and families.
