Alumni E-Learning
Good concept. A look at using online learning as a form of alumni support, with examples such as BRUIN (Brown) and Harvard@Home. This continuing learning isn't necesarily in the form of online courses; rather, they are like individual lectures or, as one person describes them, "individual self-contained intellectual experiences." Virtual University Gazette, July 2, 2001.

By Tom Barron, Learning Circuits, July, 2001.

By Steve Alexander, Online Learning Magazine, July, 2001.
