Major Funding Issues For Athabasca University research
Major Funding Issue longitudinal NOT "snapshots"
Major Funding Issue Fragmentation of education
Major Funding Issue Why is  cost-effectiveness   a dirty word in education?
Graduate students are more than embryonic faculty  They are NOT just lab & research assistants They are in the workforce Let’s enhance and deepen the talent pool in the workplace Major Research Issue
Industry  Collaboration  Framework  Explore existing Institutional-wide relationships Ex. Xerox, Fujitsu, IBM,  Google, etc. Identify opportunities and potential for strategic partnerships based on existing activities.  Ex. Xerox Procurement: $475K Research contribution: $50K Institutional donations: $150K Prioritize and select most likely candidates to pursue Strategic  Industry  Partnership Collaboratively develop action plans to achieve outcomes Could include: Physical Presence Major Research Partnership Strategic Procurement  Joint Venture
Elearning companies
CastleRock Research Elearning companies
Provincial Framework Athabasca University Provincial Framework OK
Size of Global Education & Training Market (a) Source: ThinkEquity Partners, Eduventures. US$2 trillion
