The Virtual Campus: Technology and Reform in Higher Education, Volume 25, Number 5 (J-B ASHE Higher Education Report Series (AEHE))

"Higher education has always been seen as the curator, creator, and critic of the basic knowledge of our world. This basic knowledge is being drastically affected by its rapid transfer through the new electronic channels. The traditional world of higher education must either embrace this new virtual world or become less relevant in the value it adds to society. How effectively institutions link the tools of technology with their educational vision and mission will determine their continued success in being a primary source of education and knowledge for our society. This report on the virtual campus will help institutions engage in conversation concerning their part in the virtual world expanding around us." --from the Foreword by Jonathan D.
