1/ As the country debates what the safest course of action is for universities to take this fall, many people are throwing around the idea that the emergency, remote education that schools were forced into this spring is proof that #onlinelearning is lower quality.
2/ This is simply wrong. Remote emergency learning had real issues for #highered. But, we’ve proven that online education done thoughtfully and strategically produces a high-quality learning experience that students LOVE.
3/ At @2UInc, we invest the time and money needed to ensure we power relevant, high-quality programs in partnership with some of the world’s best universities. #NoBackRow
4/ We recently partnered with @Gallup on a Graduate Outcomes Benchmark Report. The first iteration of the study came out earlier this year. You can read the full report here: https://twou.co/2UGallup .
5/ Powerful insights include: 93% of employed alumni from 2U partner programs say their current work is related to their degree. That’s what relevant #highered is all about.
6/ 59% of alumni surveyed from 2U-powered programs strongly agree they were challenged academically, compared w/ 54% of all postsecondary grads nationally. This shows in the board pass rates of healthcare grad programs we power. They’re stellar. @GUOnlineNursing @SimmonsNursing
7/ Another 38% of 2U-powered degree program alumni said their institution prepared them well for life after earning their degree. That’s compared to 27% of postsecondary graduates nationally who said the same thing.
8/ And here’s one of my favorites. 77% of alumni strongly agree they had at least one professor at their graduate institution who made them excited about learning. You don’t get these kinds of results without the expert faculty members from our esteemed university partners.
9/ Get to know some of the hard data. When done right, online #highered produces the same or better outcomes than in-person programs. And the students love it. It can be really freaking good. https://twou.co/2UGallup . #NoBackRow $TWOU
