Join your peers for a discussion on innovation in higher education. Innovation means different things to different leaders. During this Roundtable Convening we will take a deep dive into the characteristics of innovative leaders and institutions, share contexts that can prompt discussions on your campus, and provide resources for you to share with campus leadership. The OLR Convening is limited to Chief Online Learning Officers (COLOs) registered for SOLA+R 2020.
The OLR Convening is limited to Chief Online Learning Officers (COLOs) registered for SOLA+R 2020. Each UPCEA member institution has the opportunity to identify a COLO to represent them on the OLR. Each institution’s delegate to the OLR will be able to attend convenings of the OLR and will be at the forefront of UPCEA’s growing number of online initiatives.
OLR Representatives/COLOs:
Meet for peer-to-peer networking and to discuss issues related to leadership, strategy, management, and public policy at the Roundtable Convening.
Have access to special content focusing on the COLO perspective at UPCEA events such as the Summit for Online Leadership and Administration and the UPCEA Annual Conference.
Communicate via exclusive listserv and online community for COLOs to allow sharing of candid questions and comments with peers.
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.
