6+-+Organizational+Change

=**__Organizational Change__**=
 * ==Right now dual mode institutions offer online courses that are usually quite similar to conventional classroom courses==
 * ==At the same time, organizations are generally slow to adopt change==
 * ==New technology and extended classroom-type instruction will only take distance education so far==
 * ==Organizations that will survive and flourish will do so by major changes including how they organize and manage __//human resources//__ – a distance education __**//systems approach//**__ will be essential==

**1) __Commissioning Model__**

 * ==one possibility is the “commissioning model” wherein a virtual entity follows the systems approach to deliver programs without creating a permanent institution with all the specialists and instructors in the same physical space==
 * ==instead, the top professionals would be linked by various telecommunication networks wherever they may be==
 * ==this saves money and allows the institution to be flexible, versatile, and responsive==

**2) __Demand Driven Model__**

 * ==this model stresses individual study==
 * ==no longer does the institution decide what the course of study will look like, now the independent learner decides==
 * ==this also changes the standard definitions of education in the process – education now becomes an open system where the learner can learn from a faculty located anywhere and everywhere and can access instructional resources wherever they may be as well (including learning objects) – no longer is a student confined to a single institution==
