Growing by Degrees: College Board and the Sloan Foundation Announce Plans to Expand Annual Survey of Online Learning
The 2005 Survey of Online Learning concludes that the breadth of online college courses may soon rival traditional face-to-face offerings. Survey results show more than three out of five institutions offering face-to-face undergraduate (63%) or graduate (65%) level courses also offer courses at the same level online. In addition, larger percentages (56%) of chief academic officers agree that online education is critical to their long-term strategy. "Colleges and universities are starting to understand that online courses help increase enrollment and improve diversity without the need for additional classrooms," said Frank Mayadas, president, Sloan-C and program director, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. "It also helps address professors' needs for workplace flexibility, among other issues challenging academia."
