Higher Education’s Strategic Response to On-Line Learning - Critical Perspectives and Creative Successes

The History of online education has been compressed into a brief period, but it has already undergone several phases: from initial euphoria over the possibilities for expanded enrollments to a realization that online learning posed a new set of knotty pedagogical and institutional issues, to a current maturing phase. In this latter phase there is a pressing need for a public dialog that addresses the institutional challenges inherent in online education, and that provides examples of successful experiences and even specific guidelines for any institution or program involved with - or considering initiation of - an online program. This e-book of On the Horizon is intended as a contribution to this dialog.
