He notes there are cost-effective ways to build even greater scale onto the strong foundation already in place with great understanding of culture, technology, leadership, public profile and policy.

A new commons group for members interested in advancing online student services is now open at http://commons.sloanconsortium.org/groups/innovations-online-student-services.

For a collaborative paper in their January 2013 special issue of the Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks (JALN), Anita Crawley and Marie Fetzner will guide the group. They will seek to publish authors and institutions who contribute vignettes .
