The Distance Learning department at Lewis-Clark State College has undergone a variety of changes since the first online classes were taught in the Spring of 1997.  From fewer than 40 courses and almost 200 students, the Distance Learning program has grown significantly, now including online, hybrid and technology-enhanced courses and supporting nearly 70% of the student population.  Each semester, this figure continues to grow as faculty and students discover the benefits technology adds to the teaching and learning experience.
