Mega-Planning for Online Learning and Technology Change

Abstract

If online learning and technology are going to add value to learners, institutions and our shared society, we should first ask “if these are the solution, what’s the problem?” Success is best achieved by linking everything an educational agency uses (including online learning and technology), does (such as distance learning), produces and delivers to adding value to all internal and external partners. We define and provide a Mega-level planning approach—that we suggest as a useful North Star—that focuses on society as the primary client and beneficiary.
