Editors’ and authors’ role in virtual universities

Abstract

Argues that electronic publishing is opening up opportunities for editors and authors in reaching the lifelong learners being supported by the emerging virtual universities. Discusses the benefits of the virtual university model, before describing the model being used by University of Surrey/IMC and Business School Nederland in delivering management programmes. Concludes that a new mass market is evolving in supporting learning opportunities, and that access to published knowledge is a vital component of this process.
