On campus students benefit from access to online materials; distant campuses get access to information, materials that they may not otherwise get.

On campus face2face students can be emboldened by seeing remote students ask questions and get them answered; can increase class participation of on campus students, enrich the classes.

one example of best practice: When a course is developed, create a list of objectives for what you wish the students to be able to do when they complete the course.

The low/no cost could be very advantageous to employers, since they often pay the cost of continuing education of their employees.

Employers need to know that a course/program teaches their employees what the employer needs to know.
