From the supplier: Non-traditional and off-campus students are changing the college scene and colleges and universities must respond to their needs. Electronic distance learning can meet these needs. These courses can meet the same academic standards. They can be monitored more easily than the traditional classroom. Faculty members will volunteer to teach using electronic distance learning. The college or university can increase the size of its student population. Off-campus students can use electronic mail to have the same quantity and quality of communication with faculty members that on-campus students have. Off-campus students have access to more learning resources than on-campus students do. Academic dishonesty is not more prevalent. There is considerable interest on the part of students for taking courses off campus. The dropout rate is not higher for off-campus students. Distance learning courses may result in cost savings. Colleges and universities interested in distance learning should start by reviewing their mission and the needs of students, enrolled and potential, and faculty.
