Strategy, Differentiation, and Online Learning - Joshua Kim, Inside Higher Ed

The place to start an online program is around your school’s strengths. It is doubtful that every student who wants to learn what your school does best can move to where your school is located. Online learning solves this challenge. An online program does not need to be big to be sustainable. The beauty of online learning is that it can aggregate worldwide demand, and then be run without building one more physical classroom. 2017 will be the best year ever to start an new online program - as all the platforms, tools and technologies that you will need to teach at a distance are already on campus. You don’t need a new LMS (learning management system) for online courses because you already have one. The technology of online become both commoditized and ubiquitous. https://www.insidehighered.com/blogs/technology-and-learning/strategy-differentiation-and-online-learning
