Education is about learning.
Education is not about the time or place where learning occurs. Now learners can pursue degrees or engage in workforce training in a powerful learning community that connects learners to the best faculty and experts in the world. The digital communities' virtual university is a developing learning community. In the University of North Carolina system, President Molly Broad has championed the use of information technology for teaching and learning at all sixteen UNC campuses. She has established numerous committees to study information technology infrastructure needs as well as issues of policy, planning and coordination to expand virtual instruction beyond the traditional classrooms.
