World Community College: Has Its
Time Come?
Explores the key assumptions underlying a new online venture, The

World
Community College: A 2020 Vision.
The emergence of the global economy and
culture requires that the community college becomes a world college
as well as a community college: a world community college. The
curricula and the services of the new community college will help
the individuals, businesses, and agencies of the community link to
counterparts and opportunities around the world. To balance the
pressures of globalism, the community college will become more
communal, small, and intimate in its forms of teaching and learning.
World Community College.
Outlines the
services and key assumptions underlying a consortium of U.S.
community colleges, agencies, and foundations to study, work, and
serve with their counterparts around the world.
Toward Telecommunity College: From Open Admissions to Open
Learning. The campus of
the future becomes a community where teachers and students come
together to talk, to work and to learn. Discussion and
dialogue-talk will be the way learning is carried on. The design of
the college of the future has oral community at its center, and
technology at its borders to disperse learning communities not
grounded in time and place.
The New Community College and the Search for Community.
As the socioeconomies of our
communities change, the community college needs a new organizing
principle that recognizes these changes. The new community college
will tie its services to the associated group life that makes for
vital community life. Connecting the college to
associations--ethnic, religious, economic, academic, cultural and
social--could renew the educational function of community colleges.
