CHEC Online Course Sharing Consortium

Since June 30, 2020 CHEC has engaged Acadeum to host the CHEC Online Course Sharing Consortium for interested CHEC member campuses. Participation in the Consortium enables them to use the Acadeum Course Sharing Platform as a Home Institution, which downloads available online courses from other similar institutions, and/or as a Teaching Institution, which posts available seats in courses that they are providing.

How It Works
Home Institutions utilize the consortium platform to serve students who need courses that are unavailable on their own campus in a given semester. Teaching Institutions post unfilled seats in online courses they are offering in that time frame which would otherwise go unused. Home Institutions pre-screen and approve courses they select; they then register students as needed and assess these students their regular tuition rate for the online course delivered and discounted by a Teaching Institution, thus serving the student and creating a revenue share between the institutions.

Why Your Institution Should Join
This collaborative consortium serves CHEC students who need courses to progress in their academic program, while also sharing the tuition revenue generated between the Home and Teaching Institutions. It also promotes greater academic excellence and enrolment by helping to develop new academic programming with other faith-aligned institutions on a bilateral, regional or sectoral basis. In short, this collaborative approach provides an opportunity to better serve students, generate additional institutional revenue and foster institutional academic development.
