Online learning is a vital part of U.S. higher education. Following the national study of online learning leaders at U.S. universities in 2016, this session will report on a study complementing that research with a focus on leadership at two-year schools. The importance of this research is evident when considering the significant role of community colleges in online education. What do we know about the leaders at these two-year schools? Are there differences or similarities with leaders at universities? This systematic study will help us understand the leadership in two-year schools that is guiding this innovative learning environment.
