So I’m taking a marketing course and my final project is to put together a marketing campaign in which I am launching a blue jeans line with my college’s name/logo on them. The line includes several different cuts and also come in shorts the logo will go on the back pocket of the jeans. What I’m asking is if you went to college or a family member did would you buy these types of jeans? How much would you be willing to pay for a pair of these jeans? And if not what kind of jeans would you buy, i.e. who is my Competition in this market? Oh, and it was proposed that these jeans would only be available online or in the school bookstore but I don’t know if it would be a good idea to put them in local stores as well? Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it.

Aug 21 – 28 2006 issue- styudying in Iraq and Uganda doesnt mean having to pass up a diploma from aworld class university anymore. Not when so many are available online. Oxford University, to cite just one example, has offered its master’s in international-human-rights law to student working for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in East Timor, or those aiding tsunami survivors in Acheh. Tristram Wyatt director of online learning at Oxford, says that in cyberspace, the “connection can be more profound than a real class. The student are actually in the world’s hotspots”
Like so much on the Internet, Web classes stumbled after being hailed as the next big thing in the late 1990s. The first movers like the London School’s of Economics’ Fathom or NYU Online, failed-losing hundreds of millions of dollars- because students in the West prefer to attend class and parties on a real campus. But online or distance learning is now an established and rapidly growing industry, mainly in Asia and the developing world. Market analysts at IDC predict that the global market that the corporate e-learning will soar from $8 billion last year to $26 billion by 2010. In the United
States, 65 percent of graduate school now offer online courses, available to students anywhere in the world.
The trend is opening doors for students from small villages in Ethiopia to the back streets of Bangladesh – where tiny Internet cafes are now the portals to first-rate education. In China, delegates from Western online universities, like Scotland’s Interactive University, can be found in small towns trying to snap up students for whom studying abroad would be too expensive. In Pakistan last month, the government teamed up with one of the world’s largest online education providers, U21 Global, based in Singapore, to launch an ad campaign promoting higher education to rural youth.
Besides switching focus to the developing world, online universities are working to make virtual classes more engaging. While early efforts simply posted recorded lectures and lecture notes, courses now offer chat rooms hosted by professors, instant-messenger office hours, flashy PowerPoint-style coursework and lectures formatted for iPods. It’s even becoming fun socially, says Derek Conlon, 42, an IT manager at one of the top investment-banking firms in London, who recently got his diploma from Oxford online: “It’s not like what I’ve seen on TV with fraternities, but I made friends with people from all around the world. You’re only an e-mail away.”
