Distance education in the virtual world refers to learning that takes place over the internet, allowing students to access courses, resources, and instructors remotely. It utilizes digital platforms and tools to provide flexible, interactive, and accessible education to learners globally, overcoming geographical and time barriers.

Accreditation is important because it gives the assurance to the public, in particular to prospective students, that you, as an education provider, meet education quality standards in the global market.

The Ambassador membership program was established to help execute special WADE functions and represent at events both Distance education institutions and elsewhere. WADE Ambassadors are volunteers who serve without compensation and they are drawn from all academic discipline.
