Software systems are not the only systems that need to scale.
Higher education faces its own scaling challenge: how can an institution provide learning opportunities to hundreds of thousands or millions of students?
Different universities solve this problem in different ways.
Distance learning reduces the need for students to relocate.
Affiliated networks allow one institution to coordinate programs across many colleges.
Multi-campus models distribute education geographically.
Digital platforms can support communication, learning resources and administrative processes across large student populations.
IGNOU is a notable example of large-scale open and distance education, while other institutions in the Campus Review comparison demonstrate network and multi-campus approaches.
The result is a fascinating intersection between education, technology, infrastructure and organizational design.
