    After 10 years of hype and promise, what lessons has higher education
    absorbed in its capacity to shape fluid organizational structures that can
    respond to the rapidly evolving Net? For E-commerce to succeed, it must be
    profitable; For E-learning to be sustainable, it must make a significant
    difference-it has to improve education outcomes. The future is about
    leadership that can form alliances, organize assets and create new
    competencies for the Net.

    The E-learning market is keeping us "on our toes" as more and more
    commercial and higher education for-profit subsidiaries roll out.
    Competition is keen, portals are creating new organizational tools, and
    higher education can forge ahead with e-commerce strategies OR be left
    behind. Is this true? What must campuses consider to create business plans,
    strategic alliances and new technology and learning competencies in order to
    compete on the Net? How successful are the for-profits? What "shake-outs"
    loom in the marketplace, and how are administrators, students and faculty
    responding to the demands of a boom or bust education market mentality?

    FAQ: What happens when education tools become ubiquitous, flexible, and
    pervasive?

    Answer: The University travels with you, and mobile, on�demand resources
    require that learning occurs round the clock.

    The long held promise of learning anytime, anywhere, any pace is now real.
    How do organizations respond to the varied demands of learners? What are the
    short and long-term consequences of technology's impact on students,
    faculty, institutions, and administrators? What are the best practices, how
    do we conduct appropriate assessment, and what is the research really
    telling us about higher education in the Millennium?
