60,000 faculty trained in distance education...

The Office of the Chancellor has initiated a plan to bring distance education to all 60,000 faculty members of the California Community College System.

"Distance education offers the potential to further the mission of the community colleges in significance ways. However, the practice of education will not change without corresponding changes in our fundamental views of teaching and learning as they are reflected in our state, federal and institutional policies. In spite of this the community colleges are better positioned to offer other sectors of higher education a vision for the future. This paper attempts to identify some of the policy issues facing higher education in the age of distance learning and frame the discussion for the implications of these issues for the community colleges.
