Figure 11. Online enrollments versus initiative maturity

The participating initiatives represent approximately 120,000 online course enrollments combined per term, averaging about 3,800 online course enrollments per term. Initiatives benchmarked ranged as low as 125 and as high as 10,000. The IsL participants that have made their participation public are listed on the IsL study participant web page (http://www.a-hec.org/IsL_participants.html).

About 11% were quite new at maturity of two years or less. 40% of the initiatives clustered in the 4-6 year maturity range. This is certainly a long enough time to develop a solid online initiative. About 37% had maturities beyond six years.

It is interesting to look at the size of the online initiatives in terms of online enrollments per term versus the maturity of the effort. This is shown approximately in Figure 11. Simple linear regression trend line approximations are also shown for each of the three peer categories.
