What is Happening Now
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.
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.

strategy• Market Share – Shift from courses to
credentials of value and address the unmet/untapped potential
