2011 Highlights

The Quality Scorecard for the Administration of Online Programs is a convenient, efficient way to measure and build quality programs.
The 9th Annual Survey of Online Learning: Going the Distance - Online Education in the United States, 2011 reveals that the number of students taking at least one online course has now surpassed 6 million.
