Distance Learning

Distance courses offered or planned While the Center does not conduct its programs via Internet or other distance learning mechanisms, it does offer coaching sessions and provide assessment instruments through alternative channels. It also has experimented with satellite-based distance learning through the EXEN network. Initial research conducted last year by the Center and Rensselaer Learning Institute in Hartford, Connecticut indicates that distance technology can support the one-on-one feedback needed for leadership development programs.
