		Athabasca University, which is 30 years old, is located in the small town of the same name (Cree for "land of whispering reeds and hills") 84 miles north of Edmonton.
		Students who may be working together on a company's marketing plan or some other business project make their contributions online-in comparison to a more traditional MBA program, in which they might get together at a campus coffee shop or in a study alcove.
		Athabasca also has a partnership with a program in Jamaica through which practicing teachers who have two-year certificates enroll in the university's distance education courses to help them receive their undergraduate degrees.That way, they don't have to leave their homes or jobs to complete a degree.

	The Virtualization of University Education
		Students may engage in structured, archived discussions with each other or the instructor at any time of the day or night; participation may take place from anywhere in the world; and the timing of an individual’s participation may be customized to match his or her convenience or work schedule.
		A student may concentrate on one subject at a time, and when a class is completed he or she may move on to the next class until all the degree requirements are met.
		Private universities face their own constraints, such as the need to cover their costs without the guarantee of state subsidies, the need to please their “customers” (the students and their parents or sponsors who pay the fees), or perhaps certain restrictions on the way that endowment funds may be used.

	The Gateway \| Monday, 14 November, 2005 \| Volume XCVI Issue 18
		The Athabasca University Students’ Union (AUSU) ceased to be a part of CAUS on 1 November, leaving three remaining students’ unions, those of the University of Alberta, University of Calgary and the University of Lethbridge, to continue their lobbying efforts.
		Power explained that AUSU’s focus on ensuring that the proper quality standards were set up for distance education wasn’t a priority for the three other universities in the province that are still members of CAUS, as they are focused primarily on affordability and accessibility of education.
		Tamra Ross-Low, the AUSU’s communications coordinator, further explained that, as the first Canadian university accredited in the United States, AU has become a pioneer in its field and has an obligation to raise the profile of distance education to a viable postsecondary alternative.

		While students are still waiting for the provincial government to announce a new tuition policy after the lengthy postsecondary education review process, Alberta’s four universities have taken the initiative to draft their own proposal.
		University of Alberta Provost Carl Amrhein said the university presidents have contributed to discussions over the course of the review, and that consultations are a crucial part of the process.
		Students have never advocated solely for tuition; we’ve never advocated for money to go solely towards students,” Power said, pointing for the need of reform in the area of the quality of education.
