Community Learning Network

The IUPUI Community Learning Network (CLN) serves lifelong learners in Central Indiana by providing an assortment of learning options during the day, in the evening, and on the weekends.  A broad range of workshops, classes and programs are offered on-campus, through IUPUI Services Centers, and in area high schools or businesses.  These classes enable learners to continue, complete, or enhance their education through face-to-face instruction as well as via online and DVD-delivered courses.  In fact, enrollment data validate an increasing demand among lifelong learners in Central Indiana for alternate forms of undergraduate and continuing education courses.

Through review of the 2006-07 academic year, CLN has identified some highlights that correspond with the campus goals of Excellence in Teaching and Learning and Civic Engagement:

Excellence in Teaching & Learning

• Enable adult students with jobs and full-time responsibilities to complete a college degree.
• General Studies is the largest major at IUPUI. During 2006-07, 65% of the students served were female, 33% were minority students, and 75% were over the age of 25.  Average GPA was 3.02. 
  
• General Studies students normally average 7 credit hours per semester; however, in the 2006-07 academic year, the average credit hour taken per semester by General Studies students was at an all-time high of 9 credit hours per semester.
  
• The General Studies Degree Program had 457 graduates in 2006-07, with 101 students receiving an Associate of Arts in General Studies and 356 receiving a Bachelor’s in General Studies. 
  
• The Irving J. Levy Scholarship of $500 was presented to Richard Holdway. 
  
• Off-campus undergraduate credit programs generated 1,355 enrollments in the 2006-07 academic year.
  
• CLN delivered 30,529 credits during the 2006-07 academic year on the weekend, off-campus, and at a distance.
  
• Develop and implement distance learning technologies.
  
• CLN assisted academic units in offering 186 distance education course sections resulting in 6,680 enrollments in the 2006-07 academic year.
• Promote lifelong learning and educational achievement.

The 2006-07 Council on Lifelong Learning identified several important threads in its second year.

• The General Studies Faculty Advisory Committee met within this revised format as part of the Council for Lifelong Learning to address several Program Review recommendations and specific degree program policy issues in consultation with the School of Continuing Studies.
  
• Supported the proposed accelerated degree program managed by CLN for start-up in 2007-08, to include options for the Business Foundations Certificate (Kelley School of Business), Case Management Certificate (School of Social Work), and Events Management Certificate (Physical Education and Tourism Management).
  
• Continued promotion of lifelong learning with a featured space focusing on lifelong learning and listing of 20 selected continuing education programs with URLs in the Fall 2006 and Spring 2007 “SignUp” catalogues published by the Continuing Studies Department in CLN.

Civic Engagement

• Delivered high quality education and training to Central Indiana’s workforce through continuing education offerings.
• CLN maintained one learning service center, the Community Life and Learning Center in Carmel, which generated 1,511 continuing education enrollments and 380 undergraduate credit enrollments, resulting in 1,118 undergraduate credit hours. 
• Service center course section offerings and the number of undergraduate enrollments were affected by the unexpected early termination of the facility lease at Glendale Mall by the developer in preparation for the reconstruction of the mall.  IUPUI contracted with the Jewish Community Center to be an interim site in north central Indianapolis to partially offset the loss of the Glendale Service Center.  Negotiations are in progress to replace the Glendale Service Center with a new dedicated center in conjunction with a strategic shift in location of off-campus centers.
• CLN maintained the largest continuing education program in the state of Indiana, offering more than 829 classes and training opportunities to companies and generating approximately 11,000 enrollments in more than 25 off-campus locations. CLN offered 19 certificate programs; the top four include Project Management, Clinical Research, Human Resource Management, and Photography.
• Continuing Studies did heavy newspaper advertising in Hamilton, Hendricks, and Johnson counties during 2005-2006 FY and continued to reap the benefits in 2006-2007 FY.  There was an increase of 1% enrollment for Hamilton County and a 12% increase in enrollment in Johnson County.   Hendricks County saw no increase or decrease during the 2006-2007 FY; however, enrollments directly west of the IUPUI campus to the Hendricks County line increased 17% while enrollments directly south of the IUPUI campus to the Johnson County line increased 14%.
• Continuing Studies continued radio and TV advertising with the primary focus of attracting “new” customers.  The advertising efforts were targeted for winter 2007 and summer 2007.  Summer 2006 new customer enrollment was 48%, but increased to 53% new enrollment for 2007.  Winter 2006 new customer enrollment was 47%, but increased to 58% new enrollment for 2007.  No additional TV advertising was done during the fall semester and the new customer enrollment was 54% - the same as for Fall 2005-2006.
• The contract training section of Continuing Studies delivered training to governmental, business and the non-profit sector and experienced a 24% increase in income, grossing $297,652 while expenses remained consistent. 
• Continuing Studies provided customized contract training to Kroger, Eli Lilly, Indiana Blood Center, Indiana Department of Insurance, Wiley Publishing, Administar, Navistar, and International Truck in Central Indiana.  A total of 86 separate sections of various programs were held to train approximately 1,500 Kroger employees in various locations in Indiana and Illinois.  Kroger considers IUPUI Continuing Studies its “educational partner.”
• Continuing Studies partnered with the Institute of Reading Development Reading Program to offer summer and fall classes.  IUPUI retained 10% of the gross tuition revenue totaling $26,413 and served 972 students during Summer and Fall 2006.
• Continuing Studies has offered online classes in partnership with Gatlin for many years, and added to additional companies 360 Training and Financial Strategies during FY 2006-2007.
• Continuing Studies continued to see increases in the delivery of noncredit programs, such as increased costs of printing and duplicating, textbooks, market salaries for instructors, and supplies.  However, Continuing Studies has not had an “across-the-board” increase in course prices in nearly 10 years.
• Continuing Studies generated $1,352,822 in revenue with 8,542 enrollments.  The average course fee was $158.37.  Including contract training, the total revenue generated by Continuing Studies for 2006-2007 was $1,650,474 from programs reaching nearly 10,042 Hoosiers.
• Engaged K-12 youths in the exploration of math and science through the Teacher’s Resource Center (TRC).  
• Through the Teacher’s Resource Center’s math and science kit lending library, 1,065 math and science kits were distributed at no cost to 209 schools, day care centers, summer camps, and after-school programs in Central Indiana during 2006-07, compared to 325 education partners in 2005-06.
  
• The program served 61,110 in 2005-06 and 23,472 in the 2006-07 academic year. (Kit delivery was suspended for 5 of the 12 months.)   The reduction in the number of teachers and students served is a reflection of the decrease in funding from our top grant and in-kind contributors, early termination of our facility lease due to the reconstruction by the Glendale Mall developers, and preparation for the planned transition to the IU School of Education at IUPUI effective July 1, 2007.
  
• Funding partners in 2006-07 included  Raytheon, Eli Lilly and Company Foundation, Lilly Endowment, Christel DeHann Foundation, Indianapolis Foundation, and National Starch and Chemical.  TRC was able to secure $96,751 of in-kind funding and $121,500 of external funding to support the math and science kit initiative to schools in Central Indiana for total program funding support of $218,251.
