  2. MCCVLC - What is it? The Michigan Community College Virtual Learning Collaborative is a project which allows students from anywhere in Michigan to take any one of the over 2100 online courses from the on-line catalog; courses which may be offered by one of the 27 “Provider” community colleges…with the support services of their “Home” college.

  3. MCCVLC Mission Statement “To connect the teaching and student support capacity of participating Michigan community colleges so that learners and clients can access affordable, high-quality learning opportunities whenever and wherever desired.”

  5. Currently…. • Issues with current model: • Built around institutions and not the students -using old technology • Best kept secret – students are unaware • Greater competition from outside of state • Identifiable unmet need • Low institutional incentive for new online offerings • The name, Michigan Community College Virtual Learning Collaborative, is obscure - students don’t know what it means.

  6. Recommendations • Outcomes – defined to provide value for students and member colleges • Quality – Student focused • Collaboration – Better resource management • Market Share – Move to complete degree/certificate programs, addressing unmet need
