Produktbeschreibung
There are many colleges that are facing problems
attracting enough students to fill their classrooms
and therefore are operating under financial pressure.
Almost all of these colleges are hurt by the budget
cut and are considering and trying different options
and ways to survive.

Today, the trend in many for-profit educational
institutions is to extensively employ new
technologies in developing and presenting courses and
programs. The Internet is capable of supporting and
delivering education to many people, including those
who are physically disabled or cannot attend
classrooms otherwise.

This book is trying to find out if offering courses
and programs on the Internet can help small colleges
and universities in establishing a more secure
financial situation. Moreover, the purpose of the
study presented in this book is to investigate the
efficacy of different modalities of delivering online
courses or programs by a college. What types of
courses are appropriate to be taught online and how:
delivered fully online or a combination of online and
on-campus?
