Webinar | Key Findings from CHLOE 10 + 2026 Conversations for Online Learning Decision-Makers

Online learning continues to grow in strategic importance in U.S. higher education. Join the authors and research team behind the CHLOE (Changing Landscape of Online Education) 10 Report for insights from Chief Online Learning Officers and other senior online leaders nationwide. We will highlight key findings and trendlines from CHLOE 10 and prior reports, including projections for online growth and modality innovation, gaps between strategy and execution, shifting student expectations, and the early influence of AI.

We will also share how CHLOE is evolving to a biennial report and what is planned for 2026: focus groups, panel-style webinars, and peer conversations designed with and for senior online leaders. Participants will leave with benchmark insights to inform planning, questions to use with campus stakeholders, and clear ways to contribute their perspectives and help shape the next CHLOE research agenda.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Identify key trends and findings from the CHLOE 10 Report (and why they matter).
  • Apply a set of discussion questions and planning prompts to engage campus stakeholders in evidence-informed decision-making.
  • Explore opportunities to participate in CHLOE's 2026 engagement activities, including topic-focused conversations of strategic interest to senior online leaders.
