Abstract

There are more and more reasons for combining distance learning with classroom learning, not only because of the availability of new technologies but also because of the changes they induce in the student’s relationship to knowledge and in their way of life. Nonetheless, there are few instances of dual-mode universities being created by combining a distance university with an on-campus university. This chapter relates the experience of merging a distance university (TELUQ) with an on-campus university (UQAM), the reasons behind the fusion, and the lessons learned from the experience.
