Welcome to Distance Education at SA

Learning and teaching in an online classroom can be a rewarding and engaging experience. While different than the face-to-face classroom, online courses are designed to the same rigor, taught with the same enthusiasm for learning, and filled with the same lively discussion and exchange of ideas as their on-ground counterparts. This site is for both online students and faculty.
