The United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) presented VIT with the 21st Century Award for Best Practices in Distance Learning. This award is presented annually to a demonstrated pioneer in the field of distance learning, for developing innovative approaches to the delivery of distance learning programs and for demonstrating a capacity to adjust to the evolving nature of the field.
VIT has been delivering distance learning services to Vermonters since 1988 and continues to expand its infrastructure to stay ahead of technological advancements, and to give Vermonters the best distance learning tools available.
Barbara Grimes, long time Chair of the VIT Coordinating Council noted, ‘VIT pioneered this technology in Vermont and as the award demonstrates, VIT continues to be a leader in distance learning.’ She added, ‘VIT’s technical and operational expertise gives Vermonters access to quality opportunities worldwide.’
VIT Executive Director Tara Lidstone said, ‘Our team is very proud, but many deserve credit for the award. Among them, past and present Administrations and Legislators who supported the infrastructure development, the VIT Council and staff for their hard work, and the Vermont organizations that have used VIT so often and so well to deliver quality education and training.’
