6 Anti-Conventional Wisdom Recommendations for Online Learning Programs: What to do and what not to do - Joshua Kim, Inside Higher Ed

There seems to be a widespread belief that every college or university is already deeply enmeshed in online learning. The reality is that many schools are still trying to figure out their online learning strategy. If you are thinking about investing in a new online learning program then you will have no shortage of advice. Lots of consultants and online program management (OPM) providers will be willing to share their recommendations. (For a great picture of the OPM market landscape, check out Phil Hill’s e-Literate post from September of this year). I’m here to tell you that much of the advice that you get from the “experts” in online learning will be wrong. And particularly wrong for liberal arts colleges and smaller mission-focused schools. https://www.insidehighered.com/blogs/technology-and-learning/6-anti-conventional-wisdom-recommendations-online-learning-programs
