Part One Reading (20 points) Remember "e-learning "? In 2003 both the limits and potential of the internet for business education are becoming clearer. Many people do indeed want to sit down at their computers and take courses at their leisure; but they also want to see their teachers in the flesh. The market for online-only programmes is shaky at best. The more prestigious schools have had a hard time making them work: their reputations are not on the whole enough to overcome qualms about distance learning. When Unext , based in Deerfield , Illinois, founded the online-only Cardean University in 2000 , it recruited professors from the University of Chicago , Stanford University , and the London School of Economics (LSE) to develop course materials, but it has fewer than 500 students enrolled in its MBA programme. (By contrast , the University of Phoenix and Heriot-Watt University , each have more than 10 ,000 enrolled MBA students. ) Eduventures, a research and consulting firm that specialises in education , estimates that 350 ,000 students only 2% of all students in college or above in the United States - are enrolled in online-only programmes. Several ventures by top institutions have failed altogether. NYU Online , which offered versions of New York University courses, shut down in November 2001. Fathom. mainly sponsored by Columbia University , seemed even more promising: it offered free and paid-for material from such diverse sources as Columbia.

But after spending $ 30m , Columbia wasn' t seeing enough return on its investment. and in January 2003 announced that Fathom wpuld also be shut down.

total of five weeks on campus.The online/offline mixture seems to have satisfied both the college and the students:more than 90%of students complete the programme,says Mr Gropper,and two-thirds of them are based outside Alabama and Georgia.Such hybrid programmes are on the rise. With online programmes,access to technology becomes crucial:one of the reasons given for Fathom's demise was that the users'technology could not keep up with the demands of the courses.One place,then,to watch for the possibilities of online executive education might be Korea,where broadband use is widespread (about 68%of households are thought to have access).Korea National Open University,which teaches only in Korean, claims to have "education-on-demand"offerings and hosted a 2002 conference for open universities in Asia on distance learning.Cardean,sensing an opportunity,created EducAsia,a separate business with offices in Seoul and Singapore,in early 2000;EducAsia now offers 52 courses on business topics,all in English (and four in Korean as well)ranging from eight to 30 hours long. Mark the following statements True or False according to the information provided in the text. 1.In the 21"century,people prefer studying online in their spare time to sitting in the classrooms. 2.In 2000 the market for online-only programmes is not well developed as expected for Unext. 3.Only 2%of the 350,000 students in the U.S.are enrolled in online-only programmes. 4.Online-only programmes by some famous universities can not last long. 5.Fathom,sponsored by Columbia University,was the only successful and profitable online programme. 6.One of the reasons why some online programmes fail is that the users'technology can hardly keep up with the demands of the courses. 7.Blended programmes satisfy both the students and the college. 8.The great majority of the students complete the hybrid executive MBA programme in Auburn's College of Business. 1621
