An Army of Distance Learners - Sally M. Johnstone, Syllabus

One of the largest collaborative distance learning activities operating right now is the eArmy University. It began enrolling students two years ago and they now have had over 50,000 enrollments. A group of colleges and universities each offer their own individual degree or certificate programs but many of the student support services are offered through a portal created and managed by a team within IBM Corp. The eArmy U management team used to be a part of PwC Consulting, but with the late unpleasantness involving accounting firms and their consulting activities, IBM was able to purchase them.
