The mission of ACCESS is to provide leadership in the field of Christian distance education.
ACCESS provides leadership through resources, online community development, and promotion of various forms of distance education. Some of the resources include research and scholarship in distance education (DE) and Christian distance education (CDE), consultation in the field, and establishing a repository of best practices of CDE. Ways in which we build community include a network of CDE professionals, a forum for collaboration, and establishing professional development opportunities through our annual conferences. Finally, support of Christian distance education is achieved through promotion of accessible CDE, addressing uniquely Christian component of distance education, and partnering with other organizations for the advancement of CDE.
