The 5 Biggest Mistakes That Almost ALL Small Schools Make

Are you thinking about starting an online program? Congratulations. The rewards can be tremendous—but only if you put your online program on the right path. It’s a mistake to think you can just host some software, throw a couple courses or programs up on the Internet, sit back, and count the enrollments. Many schools have tried that approach - and a year later had a long list of expenses and a short list of students.

We have all read about the big-name universities that launched distance learning programs to great fanfare. Then, 18 months later, they were out of the online business, red-faced and millions of dollars in the hole. As well, we all know about the tremendous success of the large for-profit schools which have huge amounts of capital to invest in their programs and, more importantly, their enrollment marketing efforts.

The question then is what are smaller education providers to do in a world of online learning populated by frightening failures and hyper-dominant competitors? Read our White Paper, "The 5 Biggest Mistakes", and get a good start on building a successful online learning program.

When your done you can read some of the other White Papers by online education veterans that we offer in our
Library.
