1. What factors are driving online learning projects?
Increased interest and demand for online learning
Over 1/3 of students in grades 6-12 (who have not taken
an online class) would like to take an online class
5X more parents now say that online learning is
a good investment for their child’s school
26% of teachers now say they prefer online courses
for their professional development

2. What does VOI and ROI mean in an education setting?
© Project Tomorrow 2011
2. What does VOI and ROI mean in an education
setting?
Defining VOI – Value of Investment
Looks at how the investment achieves the core mission
Analysis success dependent upon clear cut objectives
Can evaluate both interim and end outcomes
but head-on comparisons are difficult unless
program goals are similar
Traditionally the more comfortable analysis method
for education leaders
© Project Tomorrow 2011
2. What does VOI and ROI mean in an education
setting?
Defining VOI – Value of Investment
Example: Mooresville Graded School District (NC)
“Digital Conversion” driven by district
strategic plan to transform teaching
and learning district wide.
Re-purposed budget line items to be
cost neutral.
Per Dr. Smith, “LMS is the glue that
holds this all together for our district.”
© Project Tomorrow 2011
2. What does VOI and ROI mean in an education
setting?
Defining ROI – Return on Investment
Earnings generated per dollar of investment :
comparing solution costs to monetary benefits
Monetary benefits as savings and/or new revenue
Provides way to compare investments with an objective,
financially focused assessment
Traditionally, has not been a standard practice in K12
education due to inherent challenges
© Project Tomorrow 2011
2. What does VOI and ROI mean in an education
setting?
Defining ROI – Return on Investment
Inherent challenges & opportunities:
• 56% of administrators in the survey has little or no
familiarity with ROI
• Only 18% had to complete an ROI analysis to
justify their current online learning project
• 85% said they would use a set of ROI tools to
evaluate future investments
• 75% of administrators say they would use these
ROI tools for other ed tech decisions
© Project Tomorrow 2011
2. What does VOI and ROI mean in an education
setting?
Defining ROI – Return on Investment
Example: Marion County Public Schools (FL)
Catalyst for online teacher PD was
financial.
New legislation required teacher
training – contract required teachers to
be paid a stipend for afterschool PD.
Online PD avoided the stipend pay and
saved over $45,000. And provided
way to “testdrive” online learning.

Recommendations on leveraging ROI and VOI
1. Know what you need to gain approval
2. Create a comprehensive plan
3. Don’t overreach but target a high profile need
4. There is no such thing as a free lunch
5. Don’t be afraid of ROI
6. Engage your stakeholders in the justification process
7. As your project matures, the label “project” is no longer
appropriate
8. You can do this!

New Speak Up 2011 Questions: Administrators
How does your district's overall budget for education technology
initiatives and projects compare this year with your budget
in the 2008/2009 school year?
If your ed tech budget is less than desirable this year, how are
you dealing with that situation?
Which if any of these technology solutions are you considering
for your district to at least partially help your budget
situation?
Increasingly administrators are being asked to justify their
technology investments. Which of these outcomes have
proven to be good justifications for technology investments
in your district?

  • 5. © Project Tomorrow 2011 A special report: The New Math for Justifying Online Learning Leveraging ROI and VOI Analysis for Ed Tech Investments Released in July 2011 in collaboration with Blackboard, Inc.
  • 6. © Project Tomorrow 2011 Let’s Talk ROI & VOI Which of these are critical for your district? 1. Achieving your district’s core mission 2. Managing through fiscal difficulties 3. Leveraging technology to drive greater productivity and efficiency
  • 7. © Project Tomorrow 2011 Let’s Talk ROI & VOI Which of these are critical for your district? 1. Achieving your district’s core mission 2. Managing through fiscal difficulties 3. Leveraging technology to drive greater productivity and efficiency 4. All of the above
  • 8. © Project Tomorrow 2011 Let’s Talk ROI & VOI Are you also increasingly being asked these questions?
  • 9. © Project Tomorrow 2011 Let’s Talk ROI & VOI Are you also increasingly being asked these questions? What is the return on that investment? What is the value of that investment?
  • 10. © Project Tomorrow 2011 Let’s Talk ROI & VOI Three goals with this new report: 1. Spark new discussions re: investment decisions 2. Provide real world insights from district leaders 3. Empowering districts with a new methodology and language for justifying ed tech decisions (online learning projects as a proxy)
  • 11. © Project Tomorrow 2011 Let’s Talk ROI & VOI Today’s discussion: • Review of report methodology • Share highlights from report • Introduce you to a new tool • Your thoughts and comments
  • 12. © Project Tomorrow 2011 Let’s Talk ROI & VOI Report Methodology Guided by five key questions: 1. What factors are driving online learning projects? 2. What does VOI and ROI mean in an education setting? 3. What is the “new math” for justifying these decisions? 4. What can we learn from some innovative districts? 5. How can education leaders use this information?
  • 13. © Project Tomorrow 2011 Let’s Talk ROI & VOI Report Methodology Development process: • Literature review • Research on ROI/VOI decision-making • Analysis of Speak Up national data • Survey of 34 district administrators • In-depth interviews with 10 district leaders
  • 14. © Project Tomorrow 2011 Let’s Talk ROI & VOI Report Methodology Interviewees represented the following districts: Baltimore City Public Schools (MD) Fairfax County Public Schools (VA) Jefferson County Public Schools (CO) Lubbock Independent School District (TX) Marion County Public Schools (FL) Mooresville Graded School District (NC) Polk County Public Schools (FL) School District of Clay County (FL)
  • 15. © Project Tomorrow 2011 Let’s Talk ROI & VOI 1. What factors are driving online learning projects?
  • 16. © Project Tomorrow 2011 1. What factors are driving online learning projects? Increased interest and demand for online learning Over 1/3 of students in grades 6-12 (who have not taken an online class) would like to take an online class 5X more parents now say that online learning is a good investment for their child’s school 26% of teachers now say they prefer online courses for their professional development Source: Speak Up 2010 National Findings
  • 17. © Project Tomorrow 2011 1. What factors are driving online learning projects? Increased interest and demand for online learning Source: Speak Up 2010 National Findings Audience 2008 2010 Administrators 21% 36% Teachers 49% 53% Traditional students 24% 40% Home-schooled students 5% 13% Students in continuation schools 3% 18% At risk students 10% 16% Administrators: Who is your primary audience for online classes?
  • 18. © Project Tomorrow 2011 1. What factors are driving online learning projects? Increased interest and demand for online learning Example: Teachers’ Professional Development Three key motivating factors: 1. Solve training logistical challenges 2. Address state and federal compliance training issues 3. Leverage online learning for greater cost effectiveness
  • 19. © Project Tomorrow 2011 Let’s Talk ROI & VOI 2. What does VOI and ROI mean in an education setting?
  • 20. © Project Tomorrow 2011 2. What does VOI and ROI mean in an education setting? Defining VOI – Value of Investment Looks at how the investment achieves the core mission Analysis success dependent upon clear cut objectives Can evaluate both interim and end outcomes but head-on comparisons are difficult unless program goals are similar Traditionally the more comfortable analysis method for education leaders
  • 21. © Project Tomorrow 2011 2. What does VOI and ROI mean in an education setting? Defining VOI – Value of Investment Example: Mooresville Graded School District (NC) “Digital Conversion” driven by district strategic plan to transform teaching and learning district wide. Re-purposed budget line items to be cost neutral. Per Dr. Smith, “LMS is the glue that holds this all together for our district.”
  • 22. © Project Tomorrow 2011 2. What does VOI and ROI mean in an education setting? Defining ROI – Return on Investment Earnings generated per dollar of investment : comparing solution costs to monetary benefits Monetary benefits as savings and/or new revenue Provides way to compare investments with an objective, financially focused assessment Traditionally, has not been a standard practice in K12 education due to inherent challenges
  • 23. © Project Tomorrow 2011 2. What does VOI and ROI mean in an education setting? Defining ROI – Return on Investment Inherent challenges & opportunities: • 56% of administrators in the survey has little or no familiarity with ROI • Only 18% had to complete an ROI analysis to justify their current online learning project • 85% said they would use a set of ROI tools to evaluate future investments • 75% of administrators say they would use these ROI tools for other ed tech decisions
  • 24. © Project Tomorrow 2011 2. What does VOI and ROI mean in an education setting? Defining ROI – Return on Investment Example: Marion County Public Schools (FL) Catalyst for online teacher PD was financial. New legislation required teacher training – contract required teachers to be paid a stipend for afterschool PD. Online PD avoided the stipend pay and saved over $45,000. And provided way to “testdrive” online learning.
  • 25. © Project Tomorrow 2011 2. What does VOI and ROI mean in an education setting? Investment Justification VOI Analysis Value of Investment ROI Analysis Return on Investment
