Distance learning technology offers a bright future for higher ed capacity - Jarrett Carter, Education Dive

Duke University and San Jose State University are two institutions which have broadened research and teaching capacity through distance communication technology. Video conferencing has allowed both schools to expose students to professional development opportunities and outreach to domestic and international partner institutions. Michigan State University takes the distance learning model to new heights with robotic training tools which accompany long-distance instruction and research work. In tandem with online learning platforms like MOOCs, schools like Harvard University are expanding content delivery to international audiences with real-time capacity to share and utilize information exposed through the tools. http://www.educationdive.com/news/distance-learning-technology-offers-a-bright-future-for-higher-ed-capacity/438352/
