Welcome to the Pan Pacific Distance Learning Association Website. We have created this site to assist the Distance Learning professionals, educators, corporate trainers, and business interests in learning more about distance learning and how it can assist in overcoming training and educational problems in the Pacific region.

This site is also designed as an electronic meeting and reference place where you can get or leave pointers and leave messages for fellow members, so that we can further develop distance learning activities.

The Pan-Pacific Distance Learning Association is a non-profit association formed to promote the development and application of distance learning to education and training. Among the constituents we represent and serve are K-12, area education agencies, higher education, continuing education and corporate training. It is currently based in Honolulu, Hawaii with its primary geographical focus as Hawaii and the Pan-Pacific region.
