  7. Online Learning Framework Higher education institutions are classified into a five-category online learning framework based on their adoption of, and strategic view towards, online education: • Not Interested • Not Yet Engaged • Non-Strategic Online • Engaged • Fully Engaged

  8. Institutions without online offerings that do not believe that online is important to their long-term strategy. As a group they have the most negative view towards online. Not Interested Higher Education Institutions Higher Education Total Enrollments

  9. Institutions which do not yet have any online offerings but cite online as a critical long-term strategy. It can be expected that they intend to provide some form of online offering in the future. Not Yet Engaged Higher Education Institutions Higher Education Total Enrollments

  10. Institutions with some online offerings, but do not believe that online education is an important part of their long-term strategy. Online offerings tend to be outside of core areas. Non-Strategic Online Higher Education Institutions Higher Education Total Enrollments

  11. Institutions which currently have online offerings and believe that online is critical to their long-term strategy. They, however, have not yet included online education in their formal strategic plan. Engaged Higher Education Institutions Higher Education Total Enrollments

  13. Who Teaches Online Students? Fall 2006 Nearly three-quarter’s of all online students are taught by one-third of higher education institutions (the Fully Engaged)

  14. Large differences in extent of online activity Comparing Institutions Lowest expected growth Faculty acceptance remains an important issue

  16. Consistent Growth Expectations Institutions with Online Offerings Expecting Their Online Enrollments to Increase - Fall 2002 to Fall 2006

  17. What Will Drive Growth? • The extraordinary growth in online enrollments has been fueled by two factors: • New institutions entering the field by introducing their first online offerings; • Institutions with existing online offerings introducing new online courses and programs and growing their existing online courses and programs.

  18. Institutions New to Online? The number of institutions introducing online courses and programs is slowing

  19. Institutions New to Online Not Interested (800 Institutions) Non-Strategic Online Together these two groups account for only 6.5% of all higher education enrollments Engaged Not Yet Engaged (250 Institutions) Fully Engaged
