5. Online Learning is who we are
and what we do.

6. We’ve come a long way.
Originally funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Online
Learning Consortium is now a non-profit, 501(c) (3) member-sustained
organization.
The organization’s reach and impact have
grown significantly since it was first
conceived in 1992.
More than two decades later, we’re a self-sustaining
member-drive organization with
global reach and impact.
