Capella University is hosting a conference that will focus on ensuring the quality of distance learning next week at the National University Telecommunications Network in Minneapolis.

The concept of earning a degree online has exploded over the past few years and has left many potential students confused and wondering about the quality of learning, technology challenges and pricing structures.

These issues are of utmost concern to people considering online design degree programs.

It's hard to imagine that earning a video game design online degree will provide the same quality of education that one might get in a traditional classroom setting.

Thankfully, these are the issues being discussed at this conference. Seems like it's a chance for the top online schools to compare online degree program success stories and opportunities for improvement.

According to Kurt Linberg, PhD, dean of the School of Business and Technology at Capella, the Network's event provides an important forum for sharing strategies and best practices to enhance distance learning. The meeting features presentations on the effectiveness of learning, student and faculty satisfaction, cost effectiveness, partnerships, course design and other key topics.

Capella University offers an entire catalog of distance learning courses, specifically online design degree programs and has become a leader in online education through their commitment to high-caliber academic excellence.
