Success

Research showed the different expectations in an educational institution depending on whether the study was online or on campus:
  • It was determined that when students were researching an educational institute they were looking for certain emotional cues however once they were a member of an institute they had different emotional needs.
  • Determined the different core needs and “wish-list” for online and on-campus students
  • The optimum campus and online experience was uncovered and gap analysis showed the areas required for improvement.
  • It was determined that 60 minutes was the maximum time students were willing to commute and a strategy to appeal to students within this radius was determined. Consideration of further research into satellite campuses was recommended.
