Technology has allowed the creation of some large open universities, however, the four billion people at the bottom of the world pyramid miss out on opportunities for tertiary education (and many other benefits of contemporary life). Analyzing the cost structures of technology-mediated learning shows what is required to correct this. The combination of good connectivity and Open Educational Resources could be the breakthrough that brings the opportunity to learn to most of humankind.

A video presentation from the March 2006 Board of Trustees meeting on the CSU's Integrated Technology Strategy - the framework that has guided the CSU's information technology plan since 1996. The presentation shows how technology infrastructure investments have reaped significant benefits for students, faculty, and staff throughout the CSU by improving teaching and learning, increasing administrative productivity, and providing services that help students navigate more easily through the CSU's academic and administrative systems.
