Two-thirds of Colleges Are Prioritizing Online Versions of On-Campus Programs, Poll Finds

Roughly two-thirds of colleges are making it a priority to create virtual versions of on-campus classes and programs, according to an annual survey of chief online learning officers from Eduventures Research, Quality Matters and Educause: Changing Landscape of Online Education. College officials likely see creating online versions of existing programs as easier than launching entirely new academic programs, according to the report. However, 48% of chief online learning officers still said their priorities included launching new online programs with no campus equivalent.
