Chief academic officers count online learning as an important strategic tool in their arsenal more than they have in the last nine years. A survey report released on Tuesday, Jan. 8 showed that nearly 70 percent of 2,820 chief academic officers agreed that online learning is critical to their long-term strategy. That’s a nearly 4 percent increase from fall 2011 and a 20 percent increase since 2002, according to the survey, conducted by the Babson Survey Research Group and the College Board. With the increasing popularity of massively open online courses (MOOCs), more university boards and cabinets are telling chief academic officers that online learning is strategic and asking what they’re going to do about it, said Phil Hill, an educational technology consultant and analyst.
