Startup Pensare provides a business-to-education link
between schools-including Harvard Business School Publishing,
Duke's Fuqua School of Business, and the University of
Southern California-and corporations, including Hallmark
Cards, Unisys, and Fujitsu. The company is also building
an "Open MBA Toolkit," which will let corporate universities--and
even other schools--build custom degree programs using
content from several universities.

Online
Online courses constitute just $350 million of the $240
billion higher-education industry today, according to
Merrill Lynch, but will grow to $2 billion by 2003. The
stock market has been so enamored of online education
(or "e-learning") that venture capitalists have poured
millions into the sector, funding companies like UNext.com,
University Access and Pensare.

Abandon
hype, deliver the goodies: Much has been promised, but
little so far delivered, from corporate university/business
school links to develop courses online
The three biggest technology groups involved are UNext.com,
based in Chicago, University Access, in Los Angeles, and
Pensare, in Santa Clara. UNext.com has signed up three
leading US business schools, Chicago, Columbia in New
York and Carnegie-Mellon in Pittsburgh, plus Stanford
University (including the business school) and the London
School of Economics. University Access has signed up Kenan-Flagler
at the University of North Carolina, the Marshall School
at the University of Southern California and London Business
School. Pensare, meanwhile, has teamed up with the Fuqua
school at Duke University. |

Gets Wired for Distance: A novel technology deal gives
the university a top-flight facility -- and a shot at
a higher profile
Duke University's Fuqua School of Business, a pioneer
in learning via the Internet, is working on a project
with TeleSuite, too. Nevin Fouts, associate dean for information
technology, says the school will "use the technology to
enhance its global infrastructure." For example, a conference
suite in Durham, N.C., will link the dean of the U.S.
campus to the dean of Fuqua Europe in Frankfurt. "Deans
can walk into a private environment and talk on a regular
basis." That should help them manage the school's Cross
Continent MBA, which will launch in the fall of 2000 in
the U.S. and Germany. For now, Duke's distance-learning
classes will continue to alternate between face-to-face
local lectures and Net courses produced by Los Angeles-based
Pensare.
