We’re excited to announce the launch of the Institution Lookup Tool — a new feature of the International Distance Education Benchmark Project (IDEBP) designed to bring powerful insights into distance education enrollment across colleges and universities.
This tool allows users to freely explore historical online enrollment trends at the institution level, offering a clearer picture of how distance education has evolved across higher education.
🎓 What You Can Do with the Tool
With just a few clicks, you can:
🔎 Search for any U.S. higher education institution by name
📈 View currently available online enrollment data from 2018 through 2023
👨💻 See how many students were enrolled exclusively online versus those who took a combination of online and in-person courses
🕒 Track how online education participation has changed over time
💡 Why It Matters
While national data sources exist, they often fall short of providing institution-level clarity — especially when it comes to understanding the nuances of distance education delivery. The IDEBP fills this gap by offering a deeper, more accurate look at enrollment patterns over time.
Whether you’re a college leader, policy analyst, institutional researcher, or faculty championing online learning, this tool offers transparent, accessible insights to support better-informed decisions.
