The International Association for Distance Learning was established to promote excellence in open, distance and online learning and to offer a voluntary system of validation and recognition for course-providers worldwide. The IADL name and brand provide benchmarks through which global consumers can gauge the quality of courses offered by our Members. IADL is an independent organization based in London, United Kingdom.
Our world is changing. Digital technologies have advanced more rapidly than any innovation in our history, disrupting societies and transforming the way we learn and communicate, the way we work, even the way we think. Through our Digitalisation and Industry 4.0 Campaign we have sought to raise awareness of the transformation our industry is facing, highlighting future trends and helping members understand the implications for their current work and ongoing career.
We have to talk about our future. Climate change is a clear and present danger to our planet, and in response we as professionals must change the way we operate. Sustainability and the green agenda come with many challenges, but also many opportunities. We as an Institute must work hard to keep our members informed, and make sure we are best placed to meet those challenges and ensure a sustainable future for all.
