To provide educational providers the best possible solutions for their expansion needs, ALEC Consulting focuses on the following External Studies solutions:
Expansion through Distance Learning Offerings
One of the primary solutions offered by ALEC Consulting to increase student enrollment without reaching maximum student capacity is through External Studies offerings. Given the fact that External Studies student enrollment is limited by the type of external education employed (e.g., Correspondence Courses, Television Broadcasting, Online, et cetera), and the type of media employed (e.g., Printed Text, Audio/Video Recordings, CD-ROM, DVD, Television Broadcastings, videoconferencing, Email, et cetera) to bring the education to the students, not by the amount of classroom space, student enrollment becomes virtually unlimited.
Expansion through Group Study Centers
A Group Study Center may be owned by an institutional education provider or operated independently in collaboration with the institution. These centers typically do not offer face-to-face instruction but serve as external studies divisions, allowing students in remote locations to access similar courses or programs as those offered at the main institution. External Studies Centers provide interaction, tutorials, and guidance that are generally not included with traditional external courses.
