[HIGHLIGHTS]
* CTDLC has a built-in "credit bank" for converting disparate courses and credits into whole degrees: Charter Oak State College.
* CTDLC's revenue stream comes primarily from technology support and the technological infrastructure it provides colleges and universities, plus its ASP services.
* Faculty development and grants for course development give the Consortium some control over the quality of offerings.
* The Consortium's strength: It can experiment with infrastructure, while leaving the teaching to the universities.
