The Sloan Consortium

The purpose of the Sloan Consortium (Sloan-C) is to help learning organizations continually improve quality, scale, and breadth according to their own distinctive missions, so that education will become a part of everyday life, accessible and affordable for anyone, anywhere, at any time, in a wide variety of disciplines. Created with funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Sloan-C encourages the collaborative sharing of knowledge and effective practices to improve online education in learning effectiveness, access, affordability for learners and providers, and student and faculty satisfaction. Sloan-C maintains a catalog of degree and certificate programs offered by a wide range of regionally accredited member institutions, consortia, and industry partners; provides speakers and consultants to help institutions learn about online methodologies; hosts conferences and workshops to help implement and improve online programs; publishes the newsletter The Sloan-C View: Perspectives in Quality Online Education, the peer-reviewed Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks (JALN), and annual volumes of applied research studies; and conducts research, surveys, and forums to inform academic, government, and privatesector audiences. Sloan-C also offers services such as awards, conferences and workshops, an effective practices database, and peer-reviewed listings in the Sloan-C catalog for regionally accredited members with online degree and certificate programs. Sloan-C generates ideas to improve products, services, and standards for the online learning industry, and assists members in collaborative initiatives. Members include: a) private and public universities and colleges, community colleges, other accredited course and degree providers, and professional associations that support education; and b) organizations and suppliers of services, equipment, and tools that demonstrate the Sloan-C quality principles. Associate memberships are available to institutions that share an interest in online education and Sloan-C goals, but that have not yet listed online programs. As of mid-2004, membership was fully underwritten by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
