Model for Serving Distance Students

Evolution of Student Services On-line

Generation 1-ContentGeneration 2-Content in Context

Generation 3-Customization, Personalization, and CommunityGeneration 4-High Tech/High Touch

The information is presented from the institution's point of view, using terminology and organization that mirror the physical organization and processes of the institution

Generation 1

The information is channeled for population segments. For example, there are separate paths for prospective and matriculating students to various student services. These services are distinct entities, however,still reflecting their physical organization.

Generation 2

New "one-stop" services - like enrollment services – aggregate and integrate a range of related services to provide personalized and customized service from the student's point of view. Transaction services, portals, and communication tools enhance the student's experience.

Generation 3

Services are designed to establish and nurture a relationship between the student and the institution. Some of the identifying features include process orientation from the student's point of view, decision-making tools, personal recommendations, proactive communications, and real-time interaction with the institution.

Generation 4
