Everyone agrees that the Internet is profoundly changing higher education -- but how? Which impacts are long-term and fundamental; which are transient and soon to be forgotten? In The Wired Tower, academics, leading government education figures, business thinkers and investment professionals come together to assess the realities of the Internet in higher education. In a series of previously unpublished essays edited by Blackboard, Inc., CEO Matthew Pittinsky, these experts consider every key issue related to the Internet in higher education. The essayists offer new insights into issues including: strengthening the relationships between campus and online learning; evaluating Web-based learning and ensuring quality standards; providing better support for students and faculty; new solutions for online course development, design, and delivery; the business opportunity that exists; the role of government in fostering this arena.
