Virtual Colleges, such as Miami Dade College, face a myriad of issues, from course development and delivery, to the dissemination and implementation of technologies that engage both teachers and students. Managing what is happening now runs parallel to planning for coming technologies. The presenters will address both sides of this educational prerogative. They will discuss the current state of higher education in terms of where the bottlenecks and pitfalls to progress exist. Each presenter will then relate a specific area in their immediate focus including 1) how default instructional design and delivery might be driven, 2) how to better foster project management and 3) new approaches to content delivery

By the end of the presentation, it is hoped that participants will have a better appreciation of how to leverage present circumstances with future possibilities.
