Usdla starts to accredit schools

[A-N]

The United States Distance Learning Association has ventured out into a new field: Accreditation.
Is this a good or bad thing?
As of now I don't think they are recognized as an accrediting body.

Good grief! A new unrecognised accreditor!

Ssshh...don't tell the hard-liners... :D

PS - And yes, I think it's a very good thing. Wonder which school will be first to achieve their accreditation?
