Title:
Distance and Distributed Education: Creating Knowledge-Based Management
Infrastructure

Abstract:
The presentation discusses key issues associated with the deployment and
management of e-learning and e-enterprise infrastructure. The mapping of
the key components of the e-learning value chain, the barriers to
interoperability between these components, and the benefits of
overcoming them to effectively leverage the knowledge infrastructure
will be examined. This includes creating the key matrix for assessing a
return on an e-learning investment in an academic institution setting,
issues in professional development, cost-benefit analysis of content
development and the development of diagnostics in support of the
identification of end-user infrastructure investment priorities.
