NASULGC-Sloan National Commission on Online Learning Benchmarking Study: Preliminary Findings

Abstract

The goal of the benchmarking activity is to begin the process of identifying some of the key factors that lead to “successful” online programs at public colleges and universities.  To date, much of the research regarding online learning has focused on the questions of “what are campuses doing” and “why are they doing it.” Not as much attention has been paid to the question of “how do campuses with successful online programs organize themselves.”
