Change And Challenge on Campus describes how campuses are on the threshold of change of how and where the students will learn. Colleges are contemplating the changes that are taking place in our world today. They feel the same changes will take place on their campus also.

The colleges will have to reach far beyond their boundaries of time and place. Access to education must be increased but budgets are being cut. There is a change in student population, they are older, working, parents and they do not have the time to travel or attend classes.

What is the answer? Technology! Why not take a course offered by a college that you can view on your TV at home when you have the time? Correspondent Courses started over 100 years ago and technology continues to remove all boundaries and create a new learning environment. Video and computer conferencing is the way of the future, backed up by a good support system.
