The Online Education Barometer (OEB) provides institutions with an independent mechanism to measure, better understand and benchmark the experience of their online students.

Closely aligned to i-graduate’s Student Barometers for on-campus domestic and international students, the OEB allows institutions to easily assess and compare the decision making, expectations and perceptions of all students, regardless of delivery mode.
