CHLOE 7: Tracking Online Learning from Mainstream Acceptance to Universal Adoption
Richard Garrett, Chief Research Officer, Eduventures
September 14, 10am to 12 noon ET
Catapulted by the pandemic, chief online officers anticipate that as soon as 2025, online learning will play a much bigger role in the typical student experience, not only among adult learners and graduate students, but also traditional undergraduates. Hybrid learning will be the norm. Are they right or is this just a pandemic fever dream?
Explore this question and others with Richard Garrett as he reviews key finding from the 2022 report, “CHLOE 7: Tracking Online Learning from Mainstream Acceptance to Universal Adoption.” Produced by Eduventures® and Quality Matters™, the report is based on a survey of online learning leaders at colleges and universities nationwide. It provides an overview of the current state of online learning in higher education and sketches a near future for higher education unimaginable just a few years ago.
Master’s Market Update Overview
Clint Raine, Senior Analyst, Eduventures
October 19, 1 to 3pm ET
The master’s degree market has long served as a pillar of opportunity for institutions of higher education, but there are signs of cracks. The National Student Clearinghouse reported a decline in graduate enrollment in fall 2021, after years of strong growth. Eduventures, too, has tracked a falling enrollment rate (despite enrollment growth) over recent years, suggesting prospects are turning elsewhere. Proliferating alternatives, a tight labor market, and surging competition are at play.
Given these trends, which markets are in demand? Which are bogged down by competition? Most importantly, how is productivity trending across master’s degree fields of study? This session will explore these themes and more based on research included in the Eduventures Master’s Market Update Report.
Past to Present: How Economic History and Current Learner Survey Trends Can Help Ready Institutions for the Future
David Capranos, Director of Market Strategy and Research, Wiley Education Services
December 15, 10am to noon ET
While pundits argue about the country’s recession status, higher ed is not seeing the enrollment increases economic downturns generally deliver. And since the COVID-19 pandemic began, significant shifts in online students’ learning preferences and decision-making behaviors have added to the complexity of the moment. Wiley University Services recently studied the impact of recession on enrollments and has kept a finger on the pulse of the online learning community for more than a decade. Together, we will explore the findings, lessons, and recommendations that 40 years of economic history and the fresh voices of more than 2,500 prospective, current, and recently graduated online learners in 2022 have to offer.
