Eighteen members of the Estrella Mountain Community took eight months (November 11, 2001 - June 2, 2002) to conduct a broad investigation into the best practices related to learning with technology.

The Charge Statement from the College’s Senior Leadership stated that the E-Learning Task Force shall, “consider all relevant aspects of E-Learning so that EMCC charts the right course in the rapidly expanding world of educational technology.”

These recommendations included:
