the computing infrastructure and administrative commitment:
"For
all practical purposes, faculty offices simply didn't have
computers two or three years ago."

are the important steps in making an online program grow?"
"You've
got to have an infrastructure in place...You've got to have a
support staff...You've got to have some funding...Limited
