CHLOE 10: Meeting The Moment: Navigating Growth, Competition, and AI in Online Higher Education, 2025

-
Now in its tenth year, the CHLOE report provides a rare longitudinal view of the evolution of online learning in higher education. CHLOE 10 traces how far institutions have come since the inaugural report, revealing sharp contrasts in demand, preparedness, and strategy between 2016 and today. With this new decade-long lens into online learning, the report underscores both the progress made — and the persistent gaps that remain.
Interest in online learning is rising fast — and not just among adult and non-traditional learners. According to the CHLOE 10 Report, demand is growing across the board: 74% of institutions report increased interest from graduate students, 66% from adult undergrads, and 60% from traditional-age undergrads.
About the Report Partnership
The CHLOE Report is a collaborative effort made possible through the partnership of Quality Matters, Eduventures Research, and EDUCAUSE, with contributions from Dr. Bethany Simunich and Richard Garrett and co-authors Eric E. Fredericksen and Kristen Gay as well as the support of Platinum sponsors iDesign, and Science Interactive, Gold sponsor Archer Education, and Affiliate sponsor Online Learning Consortium.
The annual report aims to provide a window into the ways in which online learning continues to transform higher education as a whole, an effort which EDUCAUSE supports as part of its mission of advancing the strategic use of technology and data to further the promise of higher education.
