33. MOOCs
What are they?
New web-based tools/ ―platforms‖
What distinguishes them from traditional classes
and makes them attractive?
Unlimited enrollment, name recognition, and
cost – they are free!
34. MOOCs
Four Comments on Those Observations
1. The originators are not accrediting their own courses
2. The originators were individual professors
3. Remaining free is not going to be sustainable
4. The completion rate is between 5% and 10%
35. MOOCs
Three Explanatory Notes
1. Most are asynchronous
2. A few are moving in a synchronous direction
3. Completion rate at 5% to 10%
37. MOOCs
The Promise and the Apparent Reality of MOOCs
MOOCs will transform teaching and learning
―The revolution is not about IT. It is about teaching
and learning.‖
38. MOOCs
The Promise and the Apparent Reality of MOOCs
Although still a ―moving target‖ and not fully
matured, MOOCs are not proving to be a disrupter, but
rather ―just one spice among many online education
spices.‖
The challenge of picking what spice or spices to use
39. MOOCs
Who Are the Biggest Users of MOOCs?
People living outside the US
Among US students:
– Non-traditional students
• Not enrolled in a degree program
• Seeking to enhance their skills
• Just intellectually curious
40. MOOCs
What Schools are Most Likely to be Affected, If Any?
Potentially most affected: small, marginal, independent colleges
Least likely: selective, well-established independent colleges
Somewhere in the middle: the publics, including community
colleges
The California State University System Experiment
41. MOOCs
Some Unresolved Issues
Where do MOOCs appear to be heading?
Political pressure to expand educational opportunities and
contain costs – will MOOCs fill the bill?
The illusion of name brand
Future costs

88. Strategic Enrollment Planning …
• Involves the campus in
identifying, prioritizing, implementing, evaluating, an
d modifying enrollment strategies and goals within a
changing environment in order to effectively and
efficiently :
Realize the institution’s mission and vision, and
Support the institution’s capabilities to recruit and
maximally serve students currently and in the future.
90. The value of not
planning
The nicest thing about not planning is that
failure comes as a complete surprise and
is not preceded by a period of worry and
depression.

91. How does the strategic enrollment
planning model differ from the
traditional planning model?
92. Strategic Planning
=
Align organization with
its environment
to promote stability
and survival
Traditional Planning
=
Set goals then
develop steps to
achieve those goals
93. • Provides realistic quantifiable goals
• Uses a return-on-investment (ROI) and
action item approach
• Aligns the institution’s mission, current
state, and changing environment to foster
planned long-term enrollment and fiscal
health
Strategic enrollment planning is
continuous and data-informed
94. Connects your goals to:
• Product (academic, co-curricular,
services, support)
• Place (on-site, off-site, online, hybrid)
• Price and Revenue
(tuition, fees, discounts, incentives)
• Promotion (marketing, recruitment,
Web presence)
• Purpose and Identity
(mission, distinctiveness, brand)
• Process (data-informed,
integrated planning)

103. A multi-year tool should have the ability
to model the following items:
• Enrollment (first-year, transfer, full-time, part-time, etc.)
• Direct cost – tuition and fees (sometimes room and/or board)
• Residency
• Retention
• Revenue and institutional aid annualization/realization
− Annualization factors adjust for revenue due to mid-year attrition (i.e., who
you lose after fall and pick up in spring)
− Annualization factors allow you to estimate annual revenues and
expenditures from fall term enrollment
− For example, if the presence of one freshman in the fall term indicates that
you will collect 99% of an FTE annual tuition (when in-year attrition and
subsequent term enrollees are considered), the annualization factor for
tuition revenue for freshmen would be 99%
• Model institutional aid (funded and unfunded), discount rate,
and net revenue by class as well as on the aggregate
107. Five points to remember relative to calculating
and communicating ROI
1. Optimal number of students for your capacity
2. The desired characteristics of sub-groups of your
students as well as overall
3. Achieve a targeted net revenue goal by
sub-populations of your students
4. Control the institution’s discount rate/financial aid
expenditures
5. Understand the retention implications of your current
enrollment initiatives, both in terms of recruitment of
populations as well as awarding strategies
