| The Council of 2l, made up of representatives from Government, schools, foundations, think tanks, the media, etc; a Council of Advisers primarily from schools and education- and policy-related organizations; and representatives of 'Gravity-Breaking Schools and School Systems;' identified, confronted and analyzed issues that will be of concern for educators and school administrators in the 21st century, among them: contemporary technology; integrated/dynamic/competency-based curricula; student performance; student-centered systems; broad academic and social context; effective standards and assessment; environmentally responsive infrastructure and facilities; school-community linkages; information/knowledge age teaching; responsive governance, targeted funding, and research-based improvement; and how to apply this study. While this study will not be the final word for the rest of the 21st century, it certainly is a policy statement that anybody concerned with education should be thoroughly familiar with. |

Hanna, Donald. Higher Education in an Era of Digital Competition
| The paper describes and analyzes seven models of higher education organization that are challenging the traditional model of residential higher education. These include: Extended traditional universities, For-profit adult-centered universities, Distance education/technology-based universities, corporate universities, university/industry strategic alliances, Degree/certification competency-based universities, and global multinational universities. As the paper was published in 1998, some examples used are not up to date, but the underlying analysis is still valid. |

A Professor’s Lectures for an On-line Law School Become an Issue at Harvard
| Professor Arthur R. Miller caused a dispute by providing a series of videotaped lectures to Concord University Law School, which provides learning online. Harvard policy prohibits a professor to teach at another university without permission. Professor Miller argued that he was not interacting with Concord students and therefore not teaching. This situation raises the much larger issue for distance learning of who owns course materials and know-how, the university or the professor – or both? |

US Copyright Study on Copyright and Distance Learning

This is the report. (Last update: June 1999) |
