The pandemic has clearly demonstrated that online programs must be top quality to keep students enrolled and learning, so any evaluation of such programs should be, too, writes Cliff McCain.

The Government Accountability Office has begun an analysis of the array of external providers -- more central than ever because of the pandemic -- that help colleges take their academic programs online.

Survey of 850 instructors in introductory college courses finds professors to be exhausted, more confident in virtual learning -- and deeply concerned about the ability of disadvantaged students to continue their studies.

A large number of recently launched degree programs fail to graduate many students. Is poor planning to blame?

The online program management company buys assets of HotChalk, another OPM, whose biggest client, Concordia Portland, closed early this year.

In his new book, James M. Lang argues that trying to end students' distraction is a losing proposition. Instead, instructors should focus on capturing students' attention -- that's a winnable strategy.

Survey finds undergrads feel modestly more engaged -- especially when they think their professors have made an effort -- and are somewhat likelier to continue their educations.
