			The vision and goals of NextEd are:
			*Virtual: The objectives here focus on the virtual space and supporting technologies that are employed to deliver NextEd learning. The overarching objective is to ensure that appropriate, generationally-aligned technologies are employed to support and deliver the learning material to the students. This technology is not bound to computers and may include mobile devices or any other technology that becomes appropriate by virtue of its assimilation by the learners.
			*Collaborative: The objective of NextEd is to employ technologies that foster and enhance collaborative learning. Web 2.0 is the guiding value for all technologies and approaches adopted within the NextEd projects.
			*Educational: A key objective is to embrace social constructivism, and other collaborative-style in the delivery of learning material.
			*Network: The final objective relates to the connection of individuals within NextEd. Ultimately the goal is to facilitate a collaborative network for not only institutions but individuals to connect and grow. Further to this is the objective of empowering participants to propagate their learning through to their networks, thus resulting in a viral growth in the learning and benefits.


	As of April 2000, NextEd boasted agreements with 12 universities in [[Australia]], [[Canada]], the [[Netherlands]], [[New Zealand]], the [[UK]] and the [[US]]. Over 2,600 students from 21 countries were enrolled in 200 courses "hosted" by NextEd. NextEd's target market was Asian higher education.
