Summary/Abstract: The future of universities is uncertain to put it mildly. Analysts argue that over the next 10 to 20 years up to 50% of universities will end up in bankruptcy or just be forced to close. If this is the case for traditional or face-to-face (henceforth F2F) universities then it is arguably more so for distance-learning universities, since they not only face the challenges of a changing educational marketplace but also ever stronger competition from their F2F counterparts offering online services. So the question needs to be asked about how the former can address this problem.
