"Centers of Excellence" ("Hermits Cave Virtual University") is natural entity to produce and deliver classes
-
Today 1 faculty delivers 2 courses a semester -- each to say 25 students
-
Instead 3 faculty collaborate on 1 course and deliver to some 200 students -- perhaps in multiple sessions (200 students required to fund quality curricula and 200 students requires distance education except in a few classes)
|
University acts as an integrator putting together a set of classes where it may only teach some 20% but acts as a mentor to all
|
Important issues as to certification and "natural unit of instruction" (smaller than typical degree)
