This digest summarizes a larger report of the same title which examines the implications of teaching on the "virtual" college campus. It briefly examines the following questions: (1) what are the implications of teaching on the virtual campus? (2) how will classroom learning be different? (3) what will be the new scholarly agenda for research? (4) can technology help to create a culture of quality? (5) how can the governance and finance considerations be managed? and (6) what conclusions and recommendations can be drawn. Seven conclusions are listed and seven recommendations are offered for beginning the process of widespread integration of information into teaching, learning, and research.
