The Purpose of ACCESS

Our name, ACCESS, most clearly describes our purpose; extending education to Christians that is "access-ible," given their commitments to family, work, community and ministry.


Announcing the Annual ACCESS Conference

The 38th Annual Conference on Christian distance education is coming March 5 - 7, 2009.

This year, we're privileged to have the conference hosted by Regent University. The Conference will be held at historic Founders Inn

Special Offers to ACCESS Members

ACCESS members can now order two of the leading journals in distance education at reduced rates. The Quarterly Review of Distance Education is a refereed journal publishing articles, research briefs, reviews, and editorials dealing with the theories, research, and practices of distance education.

Distance Learning is for leaders, educators, trainers, and decision makers in the fields of distance learning, e-learning, telecommunications, virtual schools, and related areas. I encourage you to avail yourself of these materials and to get involved in article submission. More Information>>>

Course of the Year

ACCESS is now taking entries for the Course of the Year (COTY) contest jointly sponsored by ACCESS and Christianity Today.

This long-time running contest seeks to recognize and award outstanding new courses developed by member institutions.

The real benefit to each organization that enters, comes from having their newly designed course(s) examined by a trained instructional designer, and provided with valuable feedback into how their course meets best practices.
