Increase Student Enrollment with the eLearning Index
Importance of Using a Data-Driven Resource to Increase Student Enrollment
When new parents take their little ones for a monthly checkup, the doctor uses a pediatric growth chart to assess their growth. It doesn’t tell the whole story of a baby’s development, but it helps spot any trends or issues with their growth.
To tackle enrollment challenges, colleges and universities focus on understanding today’s students’ needs and preferences. These students value flexible programs and courses leading to in-demand careers.
EducationDynamics’ 2023 eLearning Index is one of many data-driven resources institutions leverage to identify opportunities to diversify and evaluate their current offerings. With the eLearning Index, higher education institutions can make informed decisions that align with current trends, which is critical to the institution’s ongoing health. With the eLearning Index, higher education institutions are making informed decisions and can self-serve and fine-tune their program offerings.
Using the eLearning Index for Data-Driven Decisions that Will Increase Student Enrollment
Gathering and analyzing extensive student data to identify trends and make well-informed decisions can be pretty challenging for higher education institutions. To streamline this challenge, EducationDynamics created a ranking system called the eLearning Index score, a valuable tool that utilizes National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) data.
By leveraging the eLearning Index, colleges and universities can be more efficient and effective in making data-driven decisions that position institutions toward achieving student enrollment growth.
