Primary Research Group publishes comprehensive distance learning statistics

Primary Research Group offers powerful tools for cultural and educational institutions, businesses and other organizations that need benchmarking studies,

AR 72036, AR (prHWY.com) October 22, 2012 - October 22,2012 - Primary Research Group is a prestigious research institution that provides benchmarking studies, research reports and surveys based upon extensive primary and secondary research, which allow a broad range of institutions, businesses and organizations to analyze their operations, processes and systems. Primary Research Groups particularly addresses the needs of academic institutions providing reports on assessment and retention practices in higher education, as well as providing operational benchmarking and distance learning statistics, which enable higher education leaders to establish strategic directions that shape educational and scholarly practices.

Identifying best practices in assessment, student retention, library management, course development, intellectual property management and other areas is essential in order to face the challenges and pressures required in the rapidly changing the educational environment. Towards these ends, Primary Research Group provides a broad range of surveys of the college and library cost structure, such as the survey of academic library database licensing practices, the survey of college marketing programs, the survey of college staffing plans; just a few of the tools that serve the current interests of the higher education system. An interesting aspect of these tools is that they feature an ambitious approach and their ultimate goal is to challenge systems of higher education to improve quality and lower costs at the same time. Identifying the best practices in student retention, assessment, technology development and other areas is just an element of an overall strategy of aligning college goals with society goals and commanding greater respect and support from government, donors and the broader public.

Assessment practices in higher education are meant to give effective feedback regarding teaching and learning processes, to ensure that grading reflects true value added, and that higher education institutions can be entrusted faithfully as custodians of the critical educational enterprise and that they can prove that they are such valued custodians, that they earn their keep, that they advance society's interests and that they can demonstrate this with clear methodologies and clear results. Effective assessment enables higher education institutions to harness the capabilities of their instructors and their students and to demonstrate that students have learned a great deal and can have a positive impact on society. Effective assessment is an ally of the higher education institution, not its enemy, not an alien or intrusive concept shoved ignorantly into its lap.

Institutional distance learning statistics can also provide clear guidelines and benchmarks regarding the effectiveness of online learning which has had and will have a major impact in the world of education. Those who have become proficient in distance learning, mixed traditional-distance learning, the use of video in education and other advances, know that the adage that costs can never come down in higher education is simply untrue. The idea that costs in higher education must always climb higher than the rate of inflation is simply not true. As in many other human pursuits, productivity in higher education can increase as technology and the effective use of distance learning statistics and other benchmarks can be brought to bear.

The advent of the internet provides direct access to revolutionary learning opportunities and the interesting aspect is that students who take all or part of their classes online, can have as high a level of performance (or higher in some fields) than those who opt for the traditional learning. There are more and more students who access online learning opportunities in order to get advanced training and certification, as well as many professionals who take advantage of these alternatives in order to chance their career paths. Primary Research Group has a good track record of successfully completed projects, providing deeply detailed studies and reports of market developments in different sectors including library services, publishing and content, retail, business services and industry. The institution enjoys a great brand awareness and a stunning reputation, and has worked as a consultant to many leading public and private companies.
