What Does it Mean to Centralize?

Building Your Own In-House OPM

Centralization means establishing an in-house Online Program Management (OPM) system. This empowers your institution to independently manage and support all aspects of online education, without relying on third-party providers.

Key Components of Centralization

In-House Capabilities

Develop the necessary internal resources to support academic units in their transition to online education. This includes everything from instructional design to student support.

Complete Lifecycle Ownership

Take control of the entire online student lifecycle. This encompasses Program Management, Instructional Design, Marketing, Recruitment, Enrollment, Student Success, and Support for all online students.

Data Ownership

Gain full control over all data related to the online student lifecycle. This enables better decision-making and strategic planning based on comprehensive insights.

Scalability

Create a dedicated department within the university that can efficiently scale remote learning options, including undergraduate degrees, graduate degrees, and certificates.

Benefits of Centralization

Reduced Reliance on Third-Party Providers
By building in-house capabilities, your institution can eliminate the dependency on expensive external services.
Cost Efficiency
Once the infrastructure is established, significantly reduce the cost of delivering degrees by avoiding high fees from third-party providers.
Market Adaptability
Achieve the flexibility to swiftly respond to market demands and continually expand your online offerings to meet evolving educational needs.
Expanded Reach
Effectively reach and serve a broader audience, including international students and those in geographically restricted areas.
