Case 3: The Apollo Group, Inc. [University of Phoenix]
Richard B. Robinson
· 1 A 55-year-old college professor at San Jose State University with a PhD from Cambridge University and previous teaching jobs at Maryland, Ohio State, and Northern Illinois, John Sperling was a surprise entrepreneur when he started the Apollo Group, parent company of the University of Phoenix, in 1976. Ambitious, his goal was to revolutionize conventional higher education. Most people would say that Sperling, recently celebrating his 91st birthday, has done just that.
· 2 Rather than catering to 18- to 22-year-olds looking to find themselves, Sperling focused on the then-neglected market of working adults. And he recruited working professionals as teachers, rather than tenured professors. UOP (on-campus and online) has more than 33,000 faculty members with less than 5 percent being full-time. Most radical of all, while nearly all other universities are nonprofits, Sperling ran his university to make money. Those ideas sparked overwhelming resistance from the education establishment, which branded UOP a “diploma mill.” The result? “We faced failure every day for the first 10 years,” said founder Sperling, who turned 91 in 2012.
· 3 From an IPO adjusted price of $0.76 to a mid-2005 high of $98, Apollo’s stock reflected a company BusinessWeek considered among the top 50 performing companies on Wall Street. The Phoenix-based company, whose day-to-day operations were still generating average annual revenue growth exceeding 30 percent over that time, saw its revenues reach $5 billion in 2010 with net income exceeding $550 million. It has also joined the S&P 500.
· 4 Tuition at Apollo averages only $18,000 a year, 60 percent of what a typical private college charges. A key factor, says Sperling, is that universities for the young require student unions, sports teams, student societies, and so on. The average age of a UOP student is 35, so UOP doesn’t have those expenses. It also saves by holding classes in leased office spaces around the country, and online, By 2010, over 75 percent of UOP students studied at University of Phoenix Online.
· 5 By 2010, the UOP had become the dominant player in the online education market that still has lots of potential for growth. The bricks-and-mortar University of Phoenix was one of the first institutions to identify and serve the burgeoning market for educating working adults. In the late 1980s, long before the Web debuted, the school began to experiment with offering its classes online. It got off to a slow start, “and we lost money for a number of years,” recalled Brian Mueller, Apollo’s former president.
· 6 As a result of this head start, however, UOP’s online option was ready to capitalize on an online-education market that began exploding in the mid-1990s. Today, it is estimated that over 10 percent of the U.S. students earning a degree via the Net are enrolled through the UOP’s online option. UOP’s online option also garners ...
The University of Phoenix was founded in 1976 to provide higher education to working adults through accredited degree programs with flexible online and evening classes. While other universities focus on traditional students aged 18-24, University of Phoenix addresses the needs of adult learners seeking education around their work schedules. A SWOT analysis identifies strengths like accredited online programs and expertise in adult education, but also weaknesses in needing updated technology and threats from increased competition from traditional universities expanding into continuing education. The case discusses evaluating alternatives for University of Phoenix to maintain its focus on non-traditional students as the higher education industry evolves.

E-learning and blended learning are growing around the globe. E-learning has expanded significantly since the late 1800s as tools have enabled learning between instructors and learners separated by distance and time. It now offers diverse learners unlimited resources. E-learning is increasingly common in schools, public universities, and for-profit universities. While early online programs faced issues, e-learning can provide innovative, engaging, and personalized learning when done well. It allows acquiring new skills to be knowledgeable and productive citizens.
1. John G. Sperling founded the University of Phoenix in 1976 at age 55 to disrupt conventional higher education by catering to working adults through evening and online classes taught by professionals rather than tenured professors.
2. The University of Phoenix grew rapidly despite facing resistance from traditional universities, with revenues reaching $2.5 billion in 2006 and net income over $414 million. It had one of the highest price-earnings ratios on Wall Street at that time.
3. By 2006, the University of Phoenix Online had become the dominant player in the online education market, enrolling over 600,000 students and generating about one-third of total industry revenues, reflecting its early entry and continued growth in the
This chapter discusses how digital technologies are changing education. It defines new literacies and the impact of online learning, blended learning, and mobile learning. Computer-based assessments can differentiate instruction and assess standards. Open education resources provide free lessons but require discretion. Digital citizenship and internet safety are important considerations for technology use in schools. The chapter emphasizes that technology skills are increasingly necessary for students to function in the modern world.
This document discusses the history and development of e-learning and online professional development (e-PD) for educators. It traces the origins of distance education back to the 18th century and highlights universities like the University of London that began offering distance learning degrees in the 1800s. The development of the internet allowed for the rise of the first fully online university in 1996. The document then discusses research that has found e-PD can improve targeted student outcomes when teachers participate in a coordinated series of online courses. It also outlines strategies for achieving critical mass adoption of e-PD innovations.
The document summarizes online learning trends in North America. It finds that while online education is growing, adoption varies by country and institution. Faculty acceptance of online learning has remained steady but more training is needed. Mobile learning lags behind other regions but some schools are integrating smartphones and tablets into courses. Open educational resources are becoming more popular.
1. Floyd Saner gave a presentation on e-learning to Hesston College faculty, arguing that it is a paradigm rather than a passing program.
2. E-learning uses web and multimedia tools to engage students in learning activities outside the constraints of time and location.
3. E-learning is here to stay due to factors like widespread access to technology, the ability to easily create content, market demands from students of all ages, and the success of existing online programs.
Online education emerged in the 1980s and has grown significantly. It allows learning to occur without attending in-person classes. During COVID-19, all Pakistani institutions switched to only offering online classes to continue education while maintaining social distancing. While online learning provides flexibility and low costs, it also faces challenges like unequal access to technology and limited social interaction. Both online and in-person education each have benefits and drawbacks.
Distance learning has existed in some form since the 18th century, beginning with lessons sent by mail. It expanded with the emergence of new technologies like radio and television in the early 20th century. The development of the internet in the late 20th century caused online education to explode, with the number of students taking online courses growing to over 5.5 million by 2009. While distance learning provides greater flexibility and access to education, it also presents challenges like lack of social interaction and dependence on functioning technology. Overall, it has grown increasingly popular as a way to learn with its enrollments increasing much faster than traditional higher education in recent years.

In the late 19th century, the International Correspondence School enrolled over 1 million students via correspondence courses. Technology expanded access to education through radio in the 1920s, television in the 1950s, and the internet starting in the 1960s. Today, over 5.5 million students take at least one online course, representing about a quarter of total enrollment. While flexibility and lower costs are benefits, challenges include lack of social interaction and support as well as technical issues. Distance learning continues to grow and new technologies will further influence its future development.
The document proposes creating a web blog to improve listening comprehension skills for 7th grade English students at Instituto Jean Piaget in Caracas, Venezuela. The blog would include songs, videos, movies and TV shows adapted for students. It aims to motivate teachers and students to incorporate ICT into classes. Similar research on using blogs has been conducted. The blog will be created on Blogger.com and used during one hour English sessions to supplement curriculum. No results were reported due to time constraints, but high student acceptance of technology in the classroom is predicted. In conclusion, technology use will likely be widely accepted and helpful for developing listening skills and taking advantage of digital tools in education.

This document discusses Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). It begins by defining MOOCs as online courses that are open to unlimited participation and do not charge tuition fees. It then provides a brief history of MOOCs, noting the first MOOC in 2008 had 25 enrolled students and 2,200 online participants. The document outlines similarities and differences between MOOCs and online college courses. It also discusses types of MOOCs and software used for online learning.
The document discusses different approaches to pedagogy and assessment. It presents project/problem-based learning and experience-based learning as alternatives to traditional lectures. Examples are provided of online courses from Venture Lab that use team projects and discussions, and courses from LearnRev taught by experts on real-world skills. HireArt is described as assessing job skills through work samples and videos to help companies identify qualified candidates, and Mozilla is collaborating to develop an open badge system for recognizing skills across the web.
Network based learning tools that can be useful for students and faculty include: StudyRoom for online courses, YouTube Schools for educational videos, Blikbook to help lecturers manage student contact, Piazza as a Q&A platform, and Facebook Groups for file sharing and messaging between students and faculty. Other tools are Educanvas for sharing educational content, Accredible for building skills credentials, Skillshare for sharing practical skills videos, Quora and Slideshare for user-generated questions and presentations, Glassdoor for employee reviews of companies and jobs, LinkedIn for professional networking, and Graduway to connect students and alumni with career opportunities.
Network based learning allows students to learn practical and employable skills from peers, lecturers, and alumni. It also provides exposure to mentorship, advice, curated information and opportunities through interactions which helps motivate students and prepare them to transition smoothly to their next stage. The key aspects are learning employable skills from different connections and gaining exposure that aids their further development and motivation.
Value for learners - university vs. online degree vs. MOOCMinji Xu
This document compares the features of a traditional university education, an online degree program, and MOOCs. A traditional university provides peer interaction, faculty-guided curriculum and materials, lectures, and assessment leading to a degree. An online degree program lacks peer and faculty interaction but provides curriculum, lectures, assessment, and a degree. MOOCs currently only offer class content but may evolve to provide a richer educational experience in the future.
Adult learner needs chinese survey analysis englishMinji Xu
A survey asked participants about their needs from education and whether existing options meet those needs. The greatest needs expressed were for practical content taught by a teacher who guides students to think, with world class content taught by an engaging teacher also important. However, existing education meets these needs for only a small percentage of respondents, from 8-31%, indicating a gap between what students need and what is currently provided.
Adult learner needs english survey analysis english versionMinji Xu
This document shows the results of a survey that asked participants to identify their educational needs and whether existing education meets those needs. The top needs identified were a world-class teacher who engages and inspires, practical content taught by a teacher who guides critical thinking, and opportunities to network with global peers and internships. Most needs were identified by 40-62% of participants but existing education was seen to meet those needs by only 21-52% of participants, showing a gap.
The document discusses major changes coming to higher education, including a shift away from government subsidies towards student tuition and alumni donations as the primary funding model. It also notes the impact of globalization and emerging technologies like MOOCs, which will allow students to access world-class content and skills training from anywhere through online courses. This may decrease the value of traditional degrees and increase the acceptance of non-degree credentials. Competition is growing from universities and online providers in other countries.
This document lists various smartphone apps that can be used in schools for educational purposes such as creating films, graphs, interviews and songs, as well as sharing on social media platforms. It also mentions using communication apps like Skype and exchanging phone numbers for after school discussions, as well as collaborative tools like Google Docs and podcasts for additional learning materials.
