Expanding Access to Learning: The Role of Virtual Universities - Carol A. Twigg

....What have we learned thus far about the advantages and disadvantages of different VUC organizational models? What business models work best? What are the political and policy obstacles that must be overcome in order for a virtual university effort to succeed? Are there potentially more-effective models in addition to those already in existence? On July 18–19, 2002, a group of higher education leaders gathered at the Aspen Institute in Aspen, Colorado, to discuss those and other issues facing higher education institutions and state policy makers as they create new kinds of organizations to promote online education. The topic was "Expanding Access to Learning: The Role of Virtual Universities."
