Abstract

At the end of the millennium in which the idea of the university has blossomed, population growth is outpacing the world’s capacity to give people access to universities. A sizable new university would now be needed every week merely to sustain current participation rates in higher education....Sir John S. Daniel, Vice Chancellor of The Open University; 6; p. 1
Traditional higher education institutions will probably be successful in the distance learning market if these two services are carefully developed and maintained: 1. provide quality learning experiences for students.
2. provide quality STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES.
