E-Learning is viewed as an excellent means of providing training to people who live in rural areas where other forms of training are not easily accessible.

Through the DLT program, the USDA seeks to provide funding for advanced communication technologies that can be used to meet the health care training needs of rural America.   

In 2006, the USDA awarded DLT grants totaling  $25,853,991, with funds targeted to provide distance learning and telemedicine services to residents of 38 states.  The primary focus of this program is to fund telecommunications equipment that will connect students, teachers, medical providers, and patients for educational purposes.   Read more
