National Distance Learning Week

This year, National Distance Learning Week (NDLW) is from November 3 to 7, 2025. NDLW was created to bring greater awareness to distance learning. At Montgomery College (MC), we want to recognize our leaders and faculty who are working together to give our students the best learning experience in their distance learning courses. Our online degrees have received numerous awards over the years, and many of our faculty have completed the Quality Matters (QM) program. The QM program is a national program that identifies online courses that have been reviewed and have passed the required standards to be recognized as a high-quality online course.

The reason distance learning has grown, especially here at MC, is because of the convenience it offers students from a scheduling standpoint. Distance learning allows them to schedule classes and complete their study when they're working or when they're dealing with family issues. Distance learning offers flexibility in the students’ lives.

• MC has 39 fully online degrees and certificatesnew window (22 degrees and 17 certificates)
• 980 online and remote sections in 393 courses were offered in Fall 2024 
• 476 individual faculty in Fall 2024 teaching online or remote courses
