Sloan-C Honors Effective Practices in Online Learning
The Sloan Consortium (Sloan-C), an association of more than 1,000 institutions and organizations of higher education engaged in online learning, will present its 2005 awards at the 11 th Sloan-C International Conference on Online Learning: The Power of Online Learning, Mobilizing to Expand Community, in Orlando, Florida, November 17, 2005. Online learning has greatly progressed since 1992 when the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation began giving grants to institutions for online learning initiatives. “Quality online education continues to show vigor and strength. Every year we see advances in the important matters of quality, scale and breadth within this still fledgling community” says Frank Mayadas, President of Sloan-C. "The individuals and institutions honored this year are as before, exceptional, and we honor them for demonstrating exceptional leadership in advancing online education along these dimensions."
