IR/COLO Briefing | In-sourcing vs. Out-sourcing Online Program Management: Evaluating Capacity to Inform Decisions

Wednesday, February 5, 2020 7:30 am – 8:30 am CT

Join your institutional representative (IR) and chief online officer (COLO) peers to discuss the various ways a leader can evaluate institutional capacity relative to the support of online programs. We will step through a process you can use to evaluate your institution’s capacity, leading to decisions on in-sourcing and out-sourcing all or some of your online operations. Be prepared for candid and focused discussions on institutional capacity, the organization of online enterprises on postsecondary campuses, and insights from peers that have engaged in this work.

  • Andrea Carroll-Glover, St. Mary’s University of Minnesota
  • Nancy Coleman, Wellesley College
  • Susan Elkins, University of South Carolina, Palmetto College
  • Elizabeth Green, Syracuse University
  • Andy Casiello, Old Dominion University

Note: Only institutional representatives (IRs) and institutional Chief Online Learning Officers (COLOs) or their designees are permitted to attend (up to two individuals from an institution). A separate registration for this free event is required.

*What is a Chief Online Learning Officer (COLO)

A Chief Online Learning Officer (COLO) is the decision-maker for an online enterprise (whether at the unit, college, or institutional level). COLOs are accountable to the online enterprise and make the decisions to advance the strategy, leadership, and vision of postsecondary online education. At the operational level, a COLO makes the critical path decisions for an online enterprise (e.g. technology, outsourcing strategic enrollment management vs. building internal teams, etc.). UPCEA recognizes there is diversity in such roles and decisions. COLOs are sometimes professional or continuing education deans with online in their portfolio, while others are solely focused on online learning.
