between student and teacher should be counted as distance learning for Fall enrollment. We asked them each of our delivery methods specifically (element 30) and they said everything should be counted as distance except the traditional method.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

would apply but blended courses would <u>not</u>. I say that because the Distance Education Course says that the “…content is delivered exclusively via
