Purdue University Online has 600K+ alumni. Penn State World Campus has 775K+ alumni. Rutgers - the State University of New Jersey has 600K+ alumni and 300K+ live in New Jersey (like me!).
For the first time in history, more people are paying schools for an online education than a traditional campus experience. More people are paying Purdue University Online than Purdue University. More people are paying Stanford University Online than Stanford University. I can go on..... this is the new reality of education.
And so, the (now) GlobalDLA.org services the 174K+ K-20 schools across North America. It's K-20 (not just K-12) as we are servicing Medical Schools, Law Schools, Graduate Schools, etc.
I was just alerted by my staff that 40,000+ members of the NADLA.org have already signed up to attend InfoComm next month in Orlando both LIVE and/or Virtually. Anyone using technology to run their school, to run their business (to run their town) would find it beneficial to attend this ProAV industry event: InfoComm.
Lifelong Learning. Education. What did your grandparents tell you ever since you were little? "You gotta get a good education." Well, just as Telemedicine has now become just Medicine. And Distance Education has now become just Education. And Ecommerce has become just Commerce...
None of it works without technology. Cloud Technology. ProAV Technology. Which is my cue to say my favorite catchphrase:
"We are all living, learning, working, playing, teaching, training, coaching, mentoring in the GLOBAL Cloud Community. The future of work - the future of education - the future of entertainment - is all in the clouds."
