13. Info-FactoriesTechnologically supported, means of production with a sophisticated division of labor including virtual teams with technological specialties; production-learner centered High production, common definitions and structures Partnerships & VendorsCollective groups of organizations networked to broker learning access, highly learner-oriented Reduction of redundancy, complex networks or virtual structures transparent to learners.
