Driving Higher Ed Institutions to an Enterprise Approach - Barbara Ross, Learning Circuits
Since its introduction in the 1990s, e-learning has grown rapidly at post-secondary institutions around the world. At leading colleges and universities, nearly all students take at least one course with a technology-supported component. As e-learning enters its second decade, many institutions find themselves at a critical juncture. With the use of course management systems continuing to expand, and course, program, and institution-level activities dependent on technology for success, many institutions have outgrown their current approaches to e-learning. For many institutions, linear expansion of e-learning—adding a program, a person, or a larger server to an existing model—cannot scale to meet current needs or future demands. Moving e-learning to an enterprise level requires institutions to re-think the way they currently support technology-enhanced instruction. Adopting an enterprise approach to e-learning results in systems and processes that are powerful, reliable, and, most of all, flexible enough to support all stakeholders and provide benefits across the institution.
