Some Light on the Higher Ed Horizon - Sally M. Johnstone, Syllabus
As another year dawns, the economic outlook for U.S. public higher education institutions is pretty bleak. However, I think there are some bright spots on the horizon for those of us who work with electronically delivered classes and programs. More faculty members than ever before are using technology to provide academic services to students. At the recent Western Cooperative for Educational Telecommunications (WCET) conference, Gartner Research Group predicted that by the end of this year 80 percent of higher education institutions will have a single, enterprisewide course management system. While most of the students using these resources will also be taking face-to-face classes on their campuses, many will be distance learning students. That means more place-committed students will be able to have access to higher education.
