Eric Stoller has written before about the importance of student affairs educators working harder to meet on-line learner needs. In a short essay, he calls out those responsible for leadership and civic engagement programs to make sure that on-line students have the same opportunities as campus-based students. Based on the premise that higher education isn't only about classroom experiences, which is copiously reinforced by research, institutions need to dedicate commensurate energy to drawing on-line students into cocurricular experiences related to leadership. And, just incidentally, the enrichment of their experience will in all likelihood lead to greater satisfaction and retention as well.
