TLDR
The Sloan Consortium's quest for quality, scale, and breadth in online learning, the impact on both continuing education of graduate engineers as well as degree-seeking engineering students, and the future of engineering colleges and schools as worldwide providers of engineering education are discussed in this paper.Abstract:
The emergence of worldwide communications networks and powerful computer technologies has redefined the concept of distance learning and the delivery of engineering education content. This article discusses the Sloan Consortium’s quest for quality, scale, and breadth in online learning, the impact on both continuing education of graduate engineers as well as degree-seeking engineering students, and the future of engineering colleges and schools as worldwide providers of engineering education.read more

Competitive advantage: creating and sustaining superior performance
TL;DR: Porter's concept of the value chain disaggregates a company into "activities", or the discrete functions or processes that represent the elemental building blocks of competitive advantage as discussed by the authors, has become an essential part of international business thinking, taking strategy from broad vision to an internally consistent configuration of activities.

Examining social presence in online courses in relation to students' perceived learning and satisfaction
TL;DR: The authors explored the role of social presence in online learning environments and its relationship to students' perceptions of learning and satisfaction with the instructor, and found that students with high overall perceptions of the social presence also scored high in terms of perceived learning and perceived satisfaction with instructor.

The Role of the Laboratory in Undergraduate Engineering Education
Lyle D. Feisel,Albert J. Rosa +1 more
TL;DR: The lack of coherent learning objectives for laboratories and how this lack has limited the effectiveness of laboratories and hampered meaningful research in the area has been discussed in this paper, where a list of fundamental objectives is presented along with suggestions for possible future research.
