While I am an online learning evangelist, I am also an OPM industry critic. To Pearson’s credit, it is my critique of the OPM industry that largely motivated the company to have me come speak at their online learning event. It is not that I’m against the idea of a partnership model. It is more that I’m concerned about the direction of the OPM industry as a whole. Today, the online programs management industry is fragmented and chaotic. There are few agreed-upon standards of transparency in contracts. We have no independent sources that I know of, aggregating data on both student and institutional outcomes from across all school/company online partnerships.
