Mediaplanet Links up with the United States Distance Learning Association to Change the Face of Online Learning in America with "Online Education" Campaign
New York, NY (PRWEB) September 30, 2016 -- Online degrees have been stereotyped as the “easy way out of earning a degree” that enables students to learn in an isolated environment prone to cheating and minimal time consumption. That is why Mediaplanet is proud to announce the launch of its 11th edition of “Online Education,” which aims to dispel such myths of online education and give insight of what the future holds for online education, and show how programs have evolved into an interactive and convenient way for students to further their education.
“With about 6-million students in four-year college programs taking at least one online class this year, there’s no doubt that distance learning is having a profound effect on higher education in America” said George R. Collins, President, United States Distance Learning Association. "We aim to showcase all of the amazing online programs and opportunities universities and institutions have created to cater to working individuals."
The print component of “Online Education” is distributed within the weekend edition of USATODAY, in the New York, DC, Baltimore, Dallas, Chicago, Kansas City and Los Angeles markets with a circulation of approximately 250,000 copies and an estimated readership of 750,000. Its digital component was distributed nationally, through a vast social media strategy, and across a network of top news sites and partner outlets.
