Authors of a study say their work supports that view. “Making Digital Learning Work,” a wide-ranging new report from the Arizona State University Foundation and the Boston Consulting Group, offers six case studies of prominent online offerings and concludes that strategic digital learning initiatives can pay off for students and institutional planners alike — if they commit to proper steps such as building infrastructure and engaging faculty members. The six spotlighted institutions range from innovative four-year universities (Arizona State University, Georgia State University, the University of Central Florida) to community colleges (Houston Community College, Kentucky Community and Technical College System, and Rio Salado Community College). Authors of the study, which was supported by funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, distinguish their efforts from previous research that drew conclusions mainly at the course level, rather than studying the impact of digital learning on an entire institution.
