ASMSA isn't just interested in providing quality educational opportunities to the students here on campus. The state of Arkansas has also charged us with the additional responsibility of assisting teachers statewide in meeting the needs of all Arkansas students and providing distance education courses to students whose schools are unable to provide these services locally. ASMSA strives to increase the standards of education across the entire state.

OFFICE OF DISTANCE EDUCATION
The Office of Distance Education (ODE) was established in 1998 to further education in Arkansas' rural schools. Today, the ASMSA ODE offers a wide array of courses to more than 3,000 students in approximately 70 school districts. And, while our efforts to serve rural districts have not diminished, our client districts are now as diverse as the state itself. Technologically, ODE has expanded its method of delivering instruction from a total reliance on audio-graphics to now include use of two-way compressed interactive video (CIV), allowing the instructors here in Hot Springs to be seen and heard live by students hundreds of miles away, as well as the students to be seen and heard by the instructor, to create a true interactive learning experience.
