World
Community College: Has Its Time Come? Explores the key assumptions underlying a new online venture, The Pangaea
Network: technologies, distance education, local communities, developing nations,
action research and international education.
World Community
College: A 2020 Vision. The emergence of
the global economy and culture requires that the community college becomes a world college
as well as a community college: a world community college. The curricula and
the services of the new community college will help the individuals, businesses, and
agencies of the community link to counterparts and opportunities around the world.
To balance the pressures of globalism, the community college will become more communal,
small, and intimate in its forms of teaching and learning.
World Community
College. Outlines the services and
key assumptions underlying a consortium of U.S. community colleges, agencies, and
foundations to study, work, and serve with their counterparts around the world.
Toward
Telecommunity College: From Open Admissions to Open Learning. The campus of the future becomes a community where teachers and
students come together to talk, to work and to learn. Discussion and dialogue-talk
will be the way learning is carried on. The design of the college of the future has
oral community at its center, and technology at its borders to disperse learning
communities not grounded in time and place.
The New Community College and the Search for
Community. As the socioeconomies of
our communities change, the community college needs a new organizing principle that
recognizes these changes. The new community college will tie its services to the
associated group life that makes for vital community life. Connecting the college
to associations--ethnic, religious, economic, academic, cultural and social--could renew
the educational function of community colleges.
Educational Benefits of Sending Students and Faculty
Abroad. Makes the case for
internationalizing the curriculum and the services of the community college, and provides
examples of community college initiatives in work, travel, and service abroad.
