5. 5 Mission Statement The TeleCampus will be the world’s leading WWW site for students wishing to find information about online courses and programs.

6. 6 Opportunities There is a need for a one-stop shopping WWW site where students can go to find courses online In 1997, there were less than 2,000 courses By the end of 2000, there will be more than 50,000 courses on line

7. 7 Business Concept The business will be centred on a database of online courses available on the WWW A critical mass of users accessing the database will be the principal asset

8. 8 Problems Existing course databases are difficult to find Once found, courses often not available online Students must sift through the course database to see if the course they want is actually available at a distance.

9. 9 Other Course Databases Electronic University Network CASO’s College Directory Globewide Network Academy ICDL Database The World Lecture Hall ED|X Distance Learning Portal Peterson’s Guide Site None are comprehensive Some are not limited to online courses

10. 10 Pricing To attract and retain a critical mass of users: No fees are charged When a critical mass is attained, financial benefits will accrue Revenues will come principally from those who wish to reach this audience, not from the course deliverers
