As a professional association for educators and institutions, NCEA offers a variety of resources and tools to aid and guide our members as work together to serve our communities by offering faith-filled and academically excellent education. NCEA has been considered a key focal point for all aspects of learning. Something has been changed in early years as a distance learning practitioner were known as a curiosity at best, well-intentioned techno zealots operating somewhere on the fringe of “real” education. No small portion of the credit for this shift is due to researchers who collected data that might both enhance our methodologies and aware the public, educational providers and consumers alike, on the benefits of technology-driven education.

Providing information and relevant data is a key element of the Organization’s mission. We believe that our doing so benefits our fellow professionals as well as the general public. The work of the Association is done through volunteers. We are not equipped to provide personalized assistance to researchers. Rather, we have tried to make a wealth of information available on a self-service basis.

If you have a resource request or contribution that is not represented in our resource library, please submit it through the NCEA Resource Submission form. In case we are unable to respond individually, we will circulate your comments internally and incorporate your ideas as we are able. If distance learning research is affectionate to you, by all means, consider becoming a member and working with us in this important arena.
