E-Learning in Indiana—By the Numbers
The Indiana College Network (ICN), Indiana's “virtual university,” provides
a gateway to e-learning opportunities from Indiana's colleges and universities
and partner schools. A service of the Indiana Higher Education Telecommunication
System (IHETS), ICN was created in 1994 by the Indiana Partnership for
Statewide Education, making it the first and one of the largest state
online consortia. Its goal is to assure that Indiana residents have access
to a wide range of educational opportunities wherever they live or work.
