Educational Technology Relevant News Accrediting Bodies Considering Standards "The six bodies that grant accreditation to colleges and universities in the United States are near agreement on guidelines for evaluating distance education that differ from traditional accrediting standards by focusing on how much students learn. If enacted, the regional accrediting agencies would use the guidelines to set standards for granting accreditation to distance-education programs and institutions." "Representatives of the six U.S. regional accrediting bodies have finalized a set of recommendations for building and evaluating online-education programs. But the recommendations won't become accreditation standards, says Charles M. Cook, the director of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges' Commission on Institutions of Higher Education. 'We've always considered them testimonials, not a new set of standards,' he says. 'It's always been the local regions' option of how to adopt them.'"

Extractions: by Janis H. Bruwelheide, Ed.D.* A few highlights: The new, improved 110(2) permits performance and display of almost all types of works. There are some exceptions but the benefits are still substantial. There are still gaps between what we can do in distance learning situations vs. what we can do in a face-to-face teaching situations. For distance learning situations, think "clips and snips" which represent "reasonable and limited portions" for audiovisual works and dramatic, musical works. Read Georgia Harper's material for a more complete explanation and how fair use will be helpful for distance learning needs outside of the TEACH Act. Georgia Harper also covers exclusions from coverage and conditions, which apply. Her checklist is very helpful. The receiving location language has been expanded and no longer limits transmission of content to classrooms devoted to instruction and similar sites. Distance learners may be reached at any site by accredited nonprofit institutions as stated in the language that the benefits apply only to a "government body or an accredited nonprofit educational institution." The "accreditation" for post-secondary education institutions is "as determined by a regional or national accrediting agency recognized by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation or the US Department of Education." As regards elementary and secondary schools status the accreditation "shall be as recognized by the applicable state certification or licensing procedures."
