In its inaugural edition, Voice of the Online Learner Australia draws insights from Australia’s largest survey of adult learners to date. This research is not new to Risepoint, however; it builds on expertise gained from 13 U.S. editions. This new version, dedicated solely to the Australian market, reflects our commitment to bring our expertise to guide the success of online programs for the universities we serve, in the regions where they operate. Understanding the needs of online learners in Australia will help institutions – and Risepoint – best support them.
While online learners may get less attention than traditional learners in Australia, they represent a significant and growing segment of Australia’s higher education ecosystem. They are diverse, motivated, and deeply impacted by the opportunities presented by the online medium.
Voice of the Online Learner Australia draws insights from online learners’ perceptions, behaviours, and preferences. We are honoured to give a platform to their experiences, as they navigate pathways vital to the future of our workforce and society.
