Info-Factories Technologically supported, means of production with a sophisticated division of labor including virtual teams with technological specialties; production-learner centered
High production, common definitions and structures
Partnerships & Vendors Collective groups of organizations networked to broker learning access, highly learner-oriented
Reduction of redundancy, complex networks or virtual structures transparent to learners.
