Benchmarking and Assessment.

How do you measure success, growth, development, and change in your distance learning organization? For years, industry has used benchmarking as a tool for measuring internal progress and external standing. Higher education institutions, too, have come to use various forms of benchmarking – particularly for their undergraduate programs.
On behalf of and in conjunction with NUTN, Hezel Associates has launched the Benchmarking for Quality in Distance Learning Study to explore the issues related to benchmarking for distance learning, and to assist college and university distance learning organizations in building their own benchmarking capacity.

In 2006, Hezel Associates, in partnership with the National University Telecommunications Network (NUTN), launched IQAT: the Interactive Quality Assessment Tool. An online benchmarking tool, IQAT helps distance learning administrators’ measure and manage change by tracking distance learning program performance data over time and comparing it to that at other institutions.

Research driven strategies are critical ingredients of any plan for growth, and the cornerstone of what the Hezel team can do for you.
