Focus: The exponential growth of online curricula is culminating in new organizational culture models, new instructional design concepts and a new set of policies for online educational institutions. The new Virtual College is managed by Virtual administrators and instruction is delivered by Virtual faculty. Virtual students are mainly non-traditional students in a demographic that is increasingly female and in an older age group. Virtual college faculty, guiding courses delivered entirely online, face an interesting set of unprecedented challenges: they may never meet their students, they may teach for multiple virtual colleges, and they may never have face-to-face interactions with the inhabitants of the institutions at which they teach. These changes have important implications for the nature, quality and management of online curricular and courses development, and online instruction. There is an increasing awareness that, indeed, online learning carries with it far-reaching implications on all aspects of higher education. Quantitative and qualitative research and scholarly reflection which examines these phenomena is invited. Teaching online, part-time online adjuncts, instructional quality, the management of distance education programs, organizational structures in distance education organizations, faculty workload issues, policy issues, and the economic and social impact of these phenomena are all invited topics. Other related topics are also accepted. Articles containing research on academic and administrative policies that are re-aligned with 21st Century realities in Virtual Education are especially encouraged and welcome. Who May Submit: Submissions are welcome from distance education administrators, full time and part time faculty teaching online, and others involved in the process of teaching or managing online courses. Please identify your submission with keyword: VIRTUAL-2 Deadline for submissions: On-going submission, cut-off date set by issue publication month. See Regular and Short submission deadline.
