Abstract: Policies are being developed to define and regulate distance education. Technology is one modality in
the delivery processes of distance education. The Federal Communications Commission has adopted the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 and established criteria for a technology plan that will receive monetary
discounts under the Universal Service Program. Previous rulings were amended to include the "Unlicensed
National Information Infrastructure." Purdue University's Distance Education and Information Technology Unit
has five goals to their program. The Committee at the University of Texas at Arlington monitors the federal,
regional, and state governing bodies of distance education. The staff of the Texas Woman's University believes
monitoring of the learners' knowledge is imperative. Facilities and programs in which distance education can
occur should be made available. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: This essay reviews two interrelated sets of changes that are having a major influence on higher
education now and for the future. Our primary concern is with the changes wrought by the incorporation of new
information and communication technologies into the teaching activities of colleges and universities. Today
these are normally discussed under the rubric of "distance education,' but we believe this label misconceives the
importance of online technologies in blurring' the distinctions between on- and off-campus teaching. We
consider a number of ethical and policy issues arising from these changes and the ways in which the uses of
these new technologies affect and are affected by a second set of changes affecting universities, the conditions
of globalization. In general, we want to question the forced options of boosterism or rejectionism, along with
other unhelpful dichotomies that have characterized much of the discussion of these issues up until now.
