Hi! Welcome to the Bella Online Distance Learning site. Since you have an interest in distance learning, I would like to invite you to sign up for the Distance Learning Newsletter. This newsletter will be sent to you weekly with links to the newest articles on the site, information about what is being discussed in the forum, tips for learners and teachers and more. Sometimes I will include links to other Bella Online site articles that are related to distance learning.

Distance learning is being used at all levels of education today from K-12 up to PhD level, as well as for informal learning at all age levels. I write a new article every week on this website about some aspect of distance learning. The articles cover topics of interest to students and teachers and parents as well as those interested in knowing what is happening in the world of distance learning. They will inform you with up-to-date information about accreditation of schools, technology, reviews of books and websites, financing your education, and even free courses that are available.

To sign up, just fill in your e-mail address in the space to the right of this or any other article, or the space below the article and then click the arrow or subscribe button. The next page will ask you to retype your e-mail address to ensure that you haven’t made an error typing it, and that is it. Almost immediately you will receive a message from Bella Online as a test to make sure you will receive the newsletters. You need to ensure that your anti-spam software will allow you to receive mail from Bella Online so if you do not receive the test message, please check your spam folder. If you need to, add Bella Online to your address list so you will receive the mailings.

The only mail you will receive from us is this distance learning newsletter you sign up for. You will not receive any of the other newsletters from our site unless you sign up for them too. Your e-mail address is kept completely confidential so you will never receive spam or advertising from us. Even I will not know your e-mail address or your name and it will certainly never be given or sold to anyone else.

The distance learning site is here to help you. I would like this site to operate as an interactive sharing of helpful information about the subject. This can happen if you contact me with your questions or ideas about what you would like the articles to cover. You can also ask questions, start a new discussion, or present your views or answers to questions in our forum. It’s a great way to interact with others who are interested in various elements of distance learning.
