Why is NC-SARA's Annual Data Collection Important?
Collecting, reporting, and analyzing data about the interstate delivery of distance education are important parts of NC-SARA's mission. Data collection and reporting help measure the impact of SARA.
- Exclusively Distance Education Enrollment: These data help us understand which institutions are enrolling students exclusively at a distance and where those students are located.
- Out-of-State Learning Placements: These data help us know how many students are participating in learning placements covered by SARA in other states, what programs of study are represented by learning placements, and in which states those placements occur. OOSLP reporting includes learning placements related to on-ground and distance learning programs.
The reports that NC-SARA produces yearly on these topics are available to the public, as are the raw data.
