Why is NC-SARA’s Data Collection Important?

Collecting, reporting, and analyzing data about the interstate delivery of distance education are important parts of NC-SARA’s mission. Data collection and reporting help measure the impact of SARA.

  • Distance Education Enrollments: Within the distance education enrollment report, the data helps answer the question of which institutions are enrolling distance education students and where those students are located.
  • Out-of-State Learning Placements: For the out-of-state learning placement report, the data is helping us to understand how many students are participating in out-of-state learning activities covered by SARA and how those activities span various program areas.

The reports that NC-SARA produces yearly on these topics are available for public consumption, as is the raw data.
