Distance Education Planning Template, PD, and Resources

Be sure to use these valuable resources;

1. Massachusetts' Distance Education Planning Template for adult education programs, which includes links to many resources and on-demand PD by each topic area. 
2. The EdTech Center at World Education's recently updated 8th Edition of the IDEAL Distance Education and Blended Learning Handbook, which was updated in August 2022 to reflect the generous sharing across IDEAL states on the "breadth of issues that define distance education."
3. The What, Why, Who, and How of Blended Learning for Adult Basic Skills Learners by national experts David Rosen and Jen Vanek (2020). This guide is for program teams who are hoping to initiate or improve blended learning for their students.
