چکیده

Web-based distance learning has evolved to a point where those operating or contemplating such programs can profit from the experience of its early adopters and practitioners. This study uses as its basis the experiences of institutions—community colleges, large research universities, state/ regional systems, and elite private institutions—that have actively pursued Webbased distance-learning initiatives. In doing so, it identifies the key elements required to develop a viable distance-learning program. For those institutions considering how best to approach distance learning, the following analysis furnishes invaluable lessons to help launch a strong program. This study also serves as a tool for institutions that have already established a Webbased distance-learning program. It will help them audit existing program successes and challenges, and highlight pertinent issues that can be managed more effectively. For these institutions, the experiences of profiled institutions, including Pennsylvania State University, Nova Southeastern University, Dallas Community College, and Regis University, should furnish valuable insights into distance-learning strategies.
