Foil 31 New Enterprise Models for Universities?

From Distance Education and its Technology Chautauqua Albuquerque New Mexico -- 9 August 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Distance Education is technically sound -- both synchronously and asynchronously -- today with very robust clear implementations available over next 2 years
2 Separate teaching mentoring and dormitory role of University
3 Teaching and grading naturally performed by centers of excellence which need at least an order of magnitude more customers than a single faculty in order to be able to justify investment in course preparation and maintenance
4 Continuing Education of growing importance and natural area to attack first -- corporate training is serious competition here and commercial deliverers have advantage?
5 Not obvious that will save large amounts of money as students will need more not less mentoring in today's information-overrich world -- quality of educational experience will become more uniform and better
