Student Costs• Strengthening the Link
Between the Labor Market and Post-Secondary Education

What Have We Learned?
• Online education takes investment, time
• Very important to target student groups
• Student success rates can be lower than traditional
• Connection to instructors and to peers is important
• Often requires team-based course design
Experience in the U.S.
• Significant slow down in growth of online
• But significant shift towards “traditional” institutions and to blended programs
• Growth area for vendors but crowded market
• MOOCs have been the trigger for change but not transformational in themselves

Uses of MOOCs
While there will be (significant) new business
models around the edges, the bigger potential impact is how
existing colleges and universities allow technology-enabled change to enter the mainstream of the academic
mission

New Opportunities
“The asynchronous, individualized nature of online learning allows differentiation of course
content. Students can control a course’s pace to fit their learning styles and abilities.”
“Our research found that interactive course software that provides instantaneous feedback
could be particularly effective in improving student performance in online courses. ”

Community Colleges
Question:If every student in your class had 24/7 access to a tutor, and those tutors got together and wrote a progress report for you every
day, how would you teach differently?
Mimic Factory ModelOne path, all studentstreated as identical

New Opportunities
But New Constraints
Question:What are the new demands on instructors and support staff for
successful online and hybrid programs or courses?
We are in the midst of an inflection point in higher
education driven by mainstream adoption,
different platform designs, and moving beyond the digitization of traditional
classroom
