Why The Hardy Group

Prior to 2020, most institutions were offering some type of online learning. Then the global pandemic forever altered the online learning landscape. Today, almost every institution is offering online learning, but with varying levels of strategic planning, programmatic quality, and ultimately success. The right planning and execution make the difference between a lackluster program that struggles to be competitive and one that is attracting the right students and driving their success. Today, students everywhere are expecting more, and yet many institutions just aren’t delivering on those expectations.

Now, by working with The Hardy Group, you can be a leader and a success story in the online learning revolution.

“For over two decades, I have turned to Darcy as a colleague and a mentor. She is one of a handful of educational leaders who were present at the start of significant online learning efforts in the US, and she remains a leader to this day. She has always been a champion of innovation and high-quality practices that support student success, and she has a keen eye for aligning strategies with institutional missions.”
