Transforming Universities with Digital Distance Education: The Future of Formal Learning (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781138614703)

Transforming Universities with Digital Distance Education explores the ways in which higher education stakeholders can apply and leverage the benefits of online learning. Systems-wide access, scale and quality are achievable goals but require forms of teamwork and financial modelling beyond those at the instructor or programme level. This book's organisational view tackles the systems and practices that will help senior managers and decision-makers guide an entire institution away from dysfunction-incremental progress, insufficient capacity, high costs and generic products-and towards the macro-level implementation and operations of effective online pedagogies.
