This report from EduVentures discusses the current status of fully online distance learning programs (which, I might add, is an uninterrupted and continual increase in enrollments and revenues), lists a series of success factors for online learning, and looks at options for colleges and universities regarding outsourcing. Unfortunately, the report is biased significantly (the clearest example is the chart on page 15) by EduVentures' partnership with eCollege. You'd think after all the fuss recently with tainted stock analysts' recommendations that consulting and research companies such as Eduventures would have learned that this sort of practice falls into, um, an ethical grey area. But no. This link is directly to the PDF but you may have to work your way through a cumbersome registration prodcedure in order to get to it.
