Abstract: This report is a compilation and review of research results and publications on the evolution of online learning in U.S. higher education. This research represents a unique historical record of online learning enrollments and trends from 2002-2015. The project was the only resource tracking and publishing the number of students taking online courses annually in the U.S., eventually leading to the Department of Education tracking these statistics. In addition to monitoring online enrollments, the reports answered critical questions for academic leaders implementing new online offerings for their institutions, including the attitudes of faculty towards online education, how others viewed the quality of online courses, and what barriers their peers faced when launching new online offerings. As online learning grew more common in higher education, the project's research focus and outreach shifted to match developing trends. [This report was created with support from Science Interactive.]
