Abstract In this study, the authors sought to investigate the status of distance education (DE) at 68 higher education institutions. Through a survey of DE program directors, the authors gathered information on size, target audience, media used, evaluation methods, student characteristics, student and faculty perceptions, and administrative support. Results reveal that the programs were still primarily asynchronous in their course delivery and needed more staffing and technical support and that program coordinators were experimenting with alternative forms of evaluation.
