Abstract
The increasing importance of distance education compels postsecondary institutions to 1) reduce existing barriers to faculty participation in distance education, and 2) provide support services that will ensure student access to high‐quality instructional programs. This article presents an institutional support framework that can assist higher education institutions in meeting these needs by appropriately balancing the application of technologies and the development of human resources.Keywords
