• Online education takes investment, time
• Very important to target student groups
• Student success rates can be lower than traditional
• Connection to instructors and to peers is important
• Often requires team-based course design
Experience in the U.S.
• Significant slow down in growth of online
• But significant shift towards “traditional” institutions and to blended programs
• Growth area for vendors but crowded market
• MOOCs have been the trigger for change but not transformational in themselves

could be particularly effective in improving student performance in online courses. ”
