Online education is mainstream as the demand for online education is outpacing demand for traditional classroom education.
Results released in “Staying the Course: Online Education in the United States, 2008” found a 12.9% growth rate for online enrollments exceeding the 1.2% growth of the overall higher education student population…demonstrating no signs of slowing.
In this brave new world of online instruction, smart universities are focused on quality.
After all, you want your online offerings to enhance—not undermine—your university’s reputation.
But building or re-working your curriculum is only half the battle. You must also ensure that your online courses are facilitated successfully.
