The Distance Education Clearinghouse website is maintained by the University of Wisconsin-Extension in cooperation with its partners and other institutions of the University of Wisconsin. It aims at offering two major typologies of information in the area of distance education and related resources. The first is a list of certificate programs available at the University of Wisconsin, while the second provides an interesting collection of distance learning resources, from national and international sources. These include a wide range of information, from introductory – i.e. definitions, glossary, FAQs – to current issues, program and courses, technologies, research, statistics and more about distance learning. Links to online communities and even job opportunities are also available. Each section provides a list of resources accompanied by an introductory comment. The website is frequently updated, with a particularly relevant event, program or website selected every month. The other major area of the site offers a list of Certificate Programs available at the University of Wisconsin to help teacher understand online course design and development, enhance their knowledge of distance learning environments and their pedagogical challenges.
