Collaboration to Serve Hispanic Students Online

I am a great fan of collaborative distance learning activities among colleges and universities. I recently attended a planning meeting for a new project at the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU). The project is called the Virtual Learning Marketplace and is being developed to help Hispanic higher education students throughout the U.S. and in some Latin American countries. HACU is the association of institutions that fall into the federal definition of Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs)—currently defined as institutions whose student body is at least 25 percent Hispanic—plus others that have a smaller percentage of Hispanic students but large and growing Hispanic populations.
