- Reinventing itself as an online university required that Athabasca University go beyond technological integration to make sweeping changes to its culture, skill sets, and processes.

- Initial project results indicate not only that real change is occurring at AU, but also that faculty and administrators are increasingly willing to examine and change their traditional practices.
