Students share experiences and become partners online for their class projects. To enhance their class offerings and become more cost-effective, the Adventist University Consortium shares classes and professors, online and face to face. This consortium includes all 95 institutions of higher learning in the Adventist church. A new company is offering a select group of universities a chance at Wall Street riches in return for the right to use their names and their faculty expertise for developing courses in business, engineering, and writing. F P Adventist businessmen provide funding to develop online courses needed by institutions around the world.
Students enroll, pay tuition to, and receive credit from the originating university.
Their home universities adapt residency policies to accommodate the new sharing of classes. F P A Harvard University Law School professor provides a series of videotaped lectures to Concord University School of Law, an institution that allows students to earn law degrees online. However, Harvard policy forbids its professors to teach at any other university during the academic year without permission from their dean. The Harvard professor clarims in an interview that he wasn't teaching anything. They simply watch his videotaped lectures online, and Concord arranges a course around that.
