When we created Noodle in 2015, we did so with a conviction that the traditional OPM model - which allowed universities to partner with for-profit companies to build and scale online programs - was deeply flawed for both schools and students.
The model encouraged an opacity that served neither students nor schools and we wanted to correct that.
The below data, collected through Spring 2022, provides insight into how Noodle works with universities and the student outcomes those partnerships produce.
