While we have lots of anecdotal data about the benefits/results of using synchronous eLearning or blended (synch/asynch) eLearning, not much hard, statistical data is out there.

As a result, I am working on a new white paper for Elluminate about just that. The idea is that to continue to get funding for online programs, you need to provide facts/figures relating to the success of this technology.

If you are tracking results data, like course enrollments, student participation, retention rates, test scores, completion rates, or student/teacher satisfaction, I would love to hear from you.

 In addition, we would like to use the white paper to suggest tools for collecting this data for those academic institutions who would like to do so. So please share how you are collecting this data as well.

 Please reply through the blog or contact me at blogteam [at] elluminate (dot) com.

And if you are interested in reading our first white paper in the series, “The Impact of Synchronous Online Learning in Academic Institutions: Customer Experiences from K12 and Higher Education,” click here.
