Distance or distributed education is one of the most complex issues facing higher education institutions today.
This paper is designed to provide college and university presidents with an overview of distance education, e-learning, or what we prefer to call distributed learning.
Today's learners want to "turn the thing on, get in there, muck around, and see what works.
Would distributed education enhance the fulfillment of that goal?
To be competitive and successful, distributed education will require a governance model with a level of dynamism and flexibility dramatically different from traditional faculty governance models.
Even when our institutions succeed in recruiting them, they are often hired away by competing businesses.

Education reporters already know that most of the nation's social tensions are reflected in the schools.
News organizations that have been reflective about the role of education in today's world know it ranks among their most important beats and requires skilled, knowledgeable reporters capable of covering it with the insight it demands.
