About WADEN

The Wisconsin Association of Distance Education Networks (WADEN) membership includes the 32 regional videoconference networks. WADEN was formed in 1997. The directors and staff of the WADEN networks cooperatively and collaboratively work together to provide distance education courses, programs, meetings, and community events to Wisconsin students, educators, and residents.

Mission Statement

To work collaboratively to advance and improve distance education opportunities for all learners in Wisconsin.

Vision

All residents of the State of Wisconsin will have equitable access to quality K-12, post secondary, and continuing adult education opportunities regardless of their physical location in the state, based upon the needs and expectations of the learner, instructor or citizen being served. Ultimately all distance education systems in the state will be interconnected electronically with the ability to acquire, at an affordable price, the appropriate technology needed for specific audio, video and data applications.
