Study: Online Schools Have Not 'Dethroned' Faculty - Dian Schaffhauser, Campus Technology

Does online learning spend more on technology and less on people? That's the latest question posed by Eduventures Chief Research Officer Richard Garrett, in an essay published on the Encoura website. This was a follow-on to a recent brief he posted that examined whether online learning could help institutions deliver a lower-cost education to more students. In that setup, he concluded that the higher the portion of fully online students a school had, the less the school spent per student. In his latest analysis of IPEDS data, Garrett specifically examined the situation of private, nonprofit four-year schools (while suggesting that the outcome could be applied to public four-year institutions as well). https://campustechnology.com/articles/2019/05/20/study-online-schools-have-not-dethroned-faculty.aspx
