The exponential growth of online curricula is culminating in new
organizational culture models, new instructional design concepts and a new
set of policies for online educational institutions. The new Virtual College
is managed by Virtual administrators and instruction is delivered by Virtual
faculty. Virtual students are mainly non-traditional students in a
demographic that is increasingly female and in an older age group.

Virtual college faculty, guiding courses delivered entirely online, face an
interesting set of unprecedented challenges: they may never meet their
students, they may teach for multiple virtual colleges, and they may never
have face-to-face interactions with the inhabitants of the institutions at
which they teach. These changes have important implications for the nature,
quality and management of online curricular and courses development, and
online instruction. There is an increasing awareness that, indeed, online
learning carries with it far-reaching implications on all aspects of higher
education.

Quantitative and qualitative research and scholarly reflection which
examines these phenomena is invited. Teaching online, part-time online
adjuncts, instructional quality, the management of distance education
programs, organizational structures in distance education organizations,
faculty workload issues, policy issues, and the economic and social impact
of these phenomena are all invited topics.

Other related topics are also accepted.

Articles containing research on academic and administrative policies that
are re-aligned with 21st Century realities in Virtual Education are
especially encouraged and welcome.
