1. Insuring high quality of Internet course
2. Relationship with private group in developing andoffering a course would be a critical factor that would need institutional level resolution. Module approach would probably be easier than using existing courses
3. Internet course included in promotion and tenure
4. Technical support in converting existing courses to internet delivery
5. Direct tuition reimbursement systems for UG and Grad courses
6. Use of technology support; course development support; teaching assistant support
7. Examples of other courses on the net to stimulate creativity and reduce fears; regional workshops w/ experienced internet course developers
