- Summary:
-
In 1997, a survey of distance education activities was distributed to all 32 Washington State community and technical colleges measuring number of courses, total seat counts, and quarterly full-time equivalent students (FTES). Survey findings included the following: (1) within individual distance education implementations, telecourses and correspondence courses were most popular; (2) since 1995-96 system distance education activities have experienced a steady increase of enrollments (up 12%) and FTES (up 16%) during 1996-97; (3) state support is the most common form of funding; (4) in comparison with total instructional efforts, distance education receives less state support than the classes in all forms, and a greater percentage of classes are funded through self support for distance education and FTES than for classes in all forms; and (5) though the number of colleges offering distance education decreased from 29 in 1994-95 to 27 in 1996-97, the number of classes offered increased by 45%. Appendices include the 1996-1997 survey instrument, a report on Washington colleges' system total instructional effort from all funding sources, and a chronology of community and technical college distance education.
