Recently I was helping review the IT faculty of a regional Australian 
university. Rather than teach on-line, they develop courses for traditional 
delivery on their campus. They then franchise the content to commercial 
providers who have their own staff and campuses. This seemed to work well 
for everyone: the staff, the students, the commercial providers and the 
university's bank balance.
