• The Public Policy Implications of a Global Learning Infrastructure A Report from a Joint NLII-SHEEO Symposium Denver, Colorado, November 13-14, 1997 By Robert C. Heterick, Jr., James R. Mingle, and Carol A. Twigg We envisage a global learning infrastructure -- a student-centric, virtual, global web of educational services -- as the foundation for achieving society's learning goals. This contrasts with the bricks-and-mortar, campus-centric university of today; it even goes beyond the paradigm of the virtual university, which remains modeled on individual institutions. The global learning infrastructure will encompass a flourishing marketplace of educational services where millions of students interact with a vast array of individual and institutional suppliers. It will be delivered through multiple technologies including the Internet, broadband cable, and satellite. It is being developed in phases, but will ultimately cross all institutional, state, and national borders.
