2010 showed the
largest ever year-to-
year increase in the
number of students
studying online.

States, 2010 - http://tinyurl.com/24edf67
Nearly thirty percent of
all college and
university students now
take at least one
course online in the
US.

Almost two-thirds of
for-profit institutions
now say that online
learning is a critical
part of their long term
strategy.

The 21% growth rate
for online enrollments
far exceeds the 2%

higher education
student population.

Nearly one-half of
institutions report that
the economic downturn
has increased demand
for face-to-face
courses and programs.

Online learning’s good. It
creates flexibility which some
students need to have because
everyone has different lives and
constraints
I really enjoyed access to the
lecture videos, it meant you got the
same quality of explanation if you
couldn't attend a lecture due to
illness etc. and if you didn't
understand something in a lecture
you could re-experience it without
needing to ask the lecturer,
excellent!!
I make a lot of use of the online
resources, so it definitely works for
me, although I do think that having
lectures is also essential as long as
there is extra explanation and
discussion on the topic, but
unfortunately some lecturers mainly
read the power point slides which we
could easily do on our own.
• Content
– What is it today, what will define it tomorrow?
• Culture
– To fit in to the existing or to create anew?
• Competition
– What are the new business models?
• Control
– Who controls the learning process?

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Confident: They were raised by parents with a strong emphasis on self-esteem. They fear nothing and consider themselves ready to overcome any challenge.Optimistic: They believe in their future and their role in it. They’ve heard about companies that cater to work-life balance – basketball courts, free food and coffee in the break room, onsite daycare and the lounge with an Xbox. They expect to be challenged, have the room to be creative and collaborate, have the opportunity for advancement and financial rewards, and to have fun at work!Goal oriented: They know what they want from work and from life, and they are set on getting it, whether it is at your company or not.Civic minded: They are concerned with the greater good and how to make their community and the world a better place. They expect companies to promote and participate in these endeavors, and to promote an environment of sustainability.Inclusive: They expect to collaborate.  They are used to being organized into teams. They expect to earn a living comparable to their peers and to work in a fair environment where everyone has equal opportunity.Connected: They live with their cell phones in hand, able to communicate with their peers anytime, anywhere, for any purpose. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr are just a few of the tools that allow them to get their message out. They expect your company to utilize these technologies when appropriate.
  2. So what does it mean for traditional institutions?
