This sponsor message is sent to you by the Online Learning Consortium on behalf of ExtensionEngine. Hello, Online learning must be differentiated, pedagogy-driven, and have a great learning experience. Do you agree? If you are considering a new online program, you might be wondering which financial model is right for you: revenue sharing or fee-for-service. We’ve created a model that shows the advantages and disadvantages of each — and, spoiler-alert, one model will not enable differentiation.

ExtensionEngine has developed online learning on a fee-for-service basis with institutions including Harvard, Notre Dame, MIT, and ArtCenter College of Design.
