Crow’s vision in developing accreditation processes that respond to rapidly changing educational needs is shown in his emphasis on developing principles to guide international education ventures, investigating the impact of distance learning on institutional accreditation, reconceptualizing accreditation processes, and spearheading collaborative efforts with other agencies and associations.
