Distance learning.

The Rural Education Trust has released a new report on the benefits of distance learning for rural schools.

"The Promise and the Power of Distance Learning in Rural Education" discusses the characteristics of major distance-learning technologies and their impact on rural schools, with a special focus on two-way interactive television. The report argues that interactive television can help small and rural schools capitalize on their primary asset of small size while overcoming curricular limitations.
