The challenge of providers of academic advising via Distance Education is to be able to offer a minimum set of core services related to academic advising which assist distance learners in identifying and achieving their maximum educational potential which enables them to reach their educational goals. The institutional philosophy of a distance learning support services program must be to strive to respond to learner needs rather than the learner adjusting to an institution's established organizational structure.

 

This interest group meeting will provide a forum for discussion of core services that are provided to distance learners and provide an opportunity to network with other professionals who have the responsibility for providing these services. A list serve will be established to promote a continued support network.
