Growing the Curriculum

This research would not be possible without
the assistance of a number of organizations.
A grant from The William and Flora Hewlett
Foundation supported the analysis and
reporting of the chief academic officer results.
Their background and knowledge of Open
Education Resources was invaluable in helping
to define the focus for all aspects of the study.
The Global Healthy Living Foundation provided
administration for the Hewlett grant.
Additional support to expand the analysis to
include faculty and academic technology
administrators was provided by Pearson.
Pearson also provided support for the
production and distribution of the final report.
Results on chief academic officer are taken from the
data collection effort for the Babson Survey Research
Group’s online learning report. The 2011 effort was
supported by Kaplan University, Pearson, and the
Sloan Consortium. Support for 2009 and 2010 was
provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
One faulty survey and the survey of academic
technology administrators was conducted as a joint
project by the Babson Survey Research Group with
Inside Higher Ed. Four companies – CourseSmart,
Deltak, Pearson and Sonic Foundry – provided the
support to make that research effort possible.
A second faculty survey was supported by Pearson.
