Upcoming Webinar
OPMs, Oversight, and Online Education in the Crosshairs
Thursday, October 17th | 2pm ET
With the oncoming shortfall of traditional undergraduate students, many institutions are looking to grow online enrollment to keep their enrollments healthy. But recent developments from both the EdTech industry and the U.S. government are complicating those strategies.
Some of the largest vendors (OPMs) that have helped institutions grow their online footprint have experienced business disruptions, and the U.S. Education Department has proposed regulatory changes that will complicate or curtail the ability of many institutions to leverage online enrollment growth.
We will dive into all of this with two national experts in online education: Phil Hill, whose On EdTech newsletter is read by thousands every week, and Eddie Maloney who leads Georgetown University's Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship.
Join us as we dive into 5 key topics:
- What is the impact of recent OPM developments for institutions seeking to grow online programming?
- How could a proposed federal rule change eliminate "revenue share" as an option for financing online program expansion?
- How could another rule change prevent institutions from seamlessly enrolling online students from other states?
- How could additional regulatory changes complicate just signing contracts with third-party servicers?
- What would really happen if online programs are required to take attendance?
