Abstract

As increasing numbers of people are seeking access to educational opportunities, there has been an increased interest in distance education by universities who may see the distance format as a means of increasing enrollments and possibly as a more cost effective form of higher education than traditional campus based methods (Daniel 1996; Richardson, et al. 1999). However, strategies for adding the distance education format to a university's on-campus programs do not appear to be well planned as evidenced by the number of unsuccessful "virtual" programs and universities (Hafner 2002; Wright 1999). As universities develop distance programs, it is important that (a) there is a clear understanding of the university's brand image; (b) that the university ensures that the distance program maintains/improves the image of the university; or (c) that the university develop a separate identity for the distance program that will stand on its own merit and not harm the university's reputation if it fails. This paper addresses issues relating to maintaining a university's image and reputation as distance education courses and programs are developed.
