Abstract

In June 2000 the azdistancelearning.org web site was launched to showcase courses taught at a distance by the three Arizona universities. The developers used leading-edge technologies to solve nontechnical problems related to data ownership, local control, and institutional status. Key technologies include Oracle replication, WebDB, and DNS round-robin. Staff from ASU, NAU, U of A, the Arizona Board of Regents, and Oracle created a "virtual university" schema to handle differences in data field values.
