I found the powerepoint ACCESS to be very informative. I found it interesting about the problems that are attempting to be a thing f the past with the help of ACCESS. The powerpoint stated that, "Many rural and low-income schools have limited course offerings for students." Some schools can not even offer an Advanced Diploma which is actually required by law but apparently is just disregarded. " The vision is that "The state of alabma will provide equal access to high quality instruction to improve student achievement through distance learning opportunities. The Misson, goal, and what ACCESS can provide is also found within this powerpoint. "Distance Learning" is defined and the modes aof delivery are listed. There is a web-based mode and a video conferencing mode. These can also be blended.
