Sloan Consortium Achieves Another Membership Milestone
The Sloan Consortium, an association of academic institutions and organizations that share information about effective online learning, has reached over 750 organizational members. This milestone comes only five short months after the announcement for 500 organizational members – an indication of the rapid growth of Sloan-C. The high level of expansion can be attributed to the increase in the awareness surrounding online learning and the collection of comprehensive information and resources about online learning that Sloan-C continues to circulate to its members. While Sloan-C activities began in 1993, institution membership didn’t begin until 2001, when 60 organizations came together as the Sloan Consortium. In the four short years since Sloan-C established organizational membership, the online learning arena has expanded significantly – creating an increase in demand for new research and information about online learning. Sloan-C has met and continues to meet this demand for reliable research and information with a high level of success through its publications, workshops, and conferences.
