The Sloan Survey of Online Learning - Jeff Seaman, Ph.D., Sloan-C View

The Sloan Consortium is just completing a comprehensive national study of online learning in Higher Education. Working from a representative sample of all United States institutions of higher education, this study has collected data on attitudes and practices from over 990 institutions... The study used the Sloan definitions of online and blended courses, where at least 80 percent of the course content had to be delivered online to be considered an "online" course, and between 30 and 80 percent delivered online to be considered a "blended or hybrid" course. Overall, well over half of the entire sample provides both at least one online and one blended course (56.4%). An additional 16.0% offer online courses, but no blended courses, while 8.9% offer blended but no online. Overall, only 18.7% of all the institutions did not offer either type of instruction.
