Abstract	This document contains texts of presentations and transcriptions of panel discussions from an international symposium on critical issues in distance higher education. The following are included: "Opening Remarks" (Thomas Sobol); "The Changing Context for Distance Learning, Some Highlights" (Harold D. Hodgkinson); panel discussion--"How Should Distance Learning Respond to Emerging Needs?" (Gary Miller et al.); "The NTU (National Technological University) Experience: A Case Study" (Lionel Baldwin); and "Symposium Summary" (James Hall). The proceedings also summarize three issues raised at the meeting: (1) the importance of focusing on learner needs rather than technology; (2) the need for regulatory and accrediting agencies to cooperate among states and regions; and (3) the need for a national research and policy leadership agenda for distance education. A list of the 64 participants and their affiliations is included in the document. (KC)
