  8. The MCCVLC Next Generation Task Force: The MCCVLC Next Generation Task Force Charge: • To determine the type and extent of currently provided services of the MCCVLC. • To investigate the need for improvement in current services and expansion of services. • To recommend the best methods for expanding and improving services of the MCCVLC. • Define outcomes that provide substantive value for students and member institutions.

  9. The MCCVLC Next Generation Task Force: Assumptions revealed: • The current model is built for institutions and not for students – the process is very fragmented in the students’ mind, • Students view the MCCVLC as the last option to getting a course, • There is increased competition in the market place, • Data shows an unmet need, • Institutions are not incentivized to grow their online offerings, and • The name itself, Michigan Community College Virtual Learning Collaborative, is obscure and students do not know what it means.
