Core Values of Distance Learning
These principles assume that the practice of distance learning
contributes to the larger social mission of education and training
in a democratic society. With that in mind, the principles reflect
the following tenets and values:
- Learning is a lifelong process, important to successful participation in the social, cultural, civic, and economic life of a democratic society.
- Lifelong learning involves the development of a range of learning skills and behaviors that should be explicit outcomes of learning activities.
- The diversity of learners, learning needs, learning contexts, and modes of learning must be recognized if the learning activities are to achieve their goals.
- All members of society have the right to access learning opportunities that provide the means for effective participation in society.
- Participation in a learning society involves both rights and responsibilities for learners, providers, and those charged with the oversight of learning.

- Because learning is social and sensitive to context, learning
experiences should support interaction and the development of
learning communities, whether social, public, or professional.
- The development of a learning society may require significant
changes in the roles, responsibilities, and activities of provider
organizations and personnel as well as of the learners themselves.
